Variables sent to PHP from Flash

[skywlkr]

I am buliding an image manipulator swf and I got stuck at the last step. My swf uses a function to save the part of its content as a jpg. Here's the function:

function createJPG() {
var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData (spBoard.width, spBoard.height);
jpgSource.draw(spBoard);

var jpgEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
var jpgStream:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(jpgSource);

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( 'save.php' );
var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
request.contentType = 'application/octet-stream';
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = jpgStream;
loader.load( request );
var jump:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://whatever.com");
navigateToURL(jump, "_self");
}

And the php:

<?php 

file_put_contents('whatever.jpg', $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]); 

?>

This works, the jpg is created on the server. However, what I want is to send the filename from the swf. I tried it this way:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ( 'save.php?name=whatever.jpg' );

and in the php:

file_put_contents($_GET['name'], $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]); 

But this doesn't work. I need the swf function to navigate to a static url, so that cannot be changed. I cant figure out how to send the filename and the jpg together to the php.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, skywlkr.

Did you look at the request to see if the QUERY_STRING was actually being passed to the server? If not, you have a Flash issue, not PHP.
