Hello,

I had problem with your script and php mod security:

ModSecurity: Multipart parsing error: Multipart: Invalid Content-Disposition header (-12): form-data; name=”image_file”;
filename=”screenshot.jpg”screenshot.jpg”

The problem is with the filename duplication: screenshot.jpg”screenshot.jpg

Solution:
bytes = ‘Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”‘+uploadDataFieldName+’”; filename=”‘ + fileName + ”; // removed quote from and of line between ”
And I had to comment out this line:
//postData.writeUTFBytes(fileName);

Is it a proper solution? What you think?

Best,
Andrew

Can any one tell me the location of the saved file file.txt in the website or localhost after using the php code

$fp = fopen( ‘file.txt’, ‘wb’ );
fwrite( $fp, $GLOBALS[ 'HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA' ] );
fclose( $fp );

Thanks in Advance

I have been able to save a file named file.txt to my server. It has a bunch of grabley characters in it and is 74K. What do I do with this to see it as an uploaded image? This is all new and exciting. So close but yet far.

Thanks!

If it’s creating empty files, check folder permissions. After two hours of searching, tried to give the folder chmod777 and it works!! Thanks!

Once again thank you soo much! This code has rocked. I finally finished my project and if it was not for you code I would have been stuck for another week +.

You can check out what I created with it at the following link. http://www.runlikeananimal.com/postcard.html

The way I used the code was to save the bytearray as a .jpg file onto our server so that users can either directly download the postcard they made, email it, or even post it to a social network.

Absolutely awesome job.
Is there a way to have a progress bar indicator while we send the bytearray to PHP? I would like to give to the users an indication on about how long they have to wait in order to have that snapshot saved onto the server.

Thanks a lot. I lost hours because I was not setting
request.contentType = ‘application/octet-stream’;

Great snippet thanks!
I’m looking for a way to pass the file name of the newly created image back to Flash so I can write the url to a database.

I’ve been trying to get the value from contentLoaderInfo but I don’t think that property is available…

Why its creating 0 byte file?

I’ve a question about the security of this method.

There is no security, right?

Everybody can send a request to the requestUrl and insert chars in the file specified or am I wrong?
