AS3 ByteArray equivelent in PHP?

[rondog]

Flash can read byteArrays. Does PHP have a method that can convert say an uploaded image into a bytearray? I will be storing it into a longblob field in a DB. I plan to then read that bytearray back into flash and output it as an image.

 

Here is the AS3 method of byteArray: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/utils/ByteArray.html

maybe base64_encode? Shot in the dark here, hah

i wouldn't store images in a database. i would store the file name in the database and save the image as a regular image file.

even if they're small thumbnails? My reason for doing this is when they delete the photo, it deletes the reference to the blob as well. I suppose I can delete the actual file by using the file name

[BlueSkyIS]

yes, even if they're small thumbnails.

[rondog]

alright I'll go ahead and just save an actual thumbnail.

How do I save the image to the server? I am using this and this works for just displaying the thumbnail I am creating.

<?php
$src = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$img = imagecreatefrompng($src);
$width = imagesx($img);
$height = imagesy($img);
$new_width = 141;
$new_height = floor($height * ($new_width / $width));
$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
imagecopyresized($tmp_img, $img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);
imagejpeg($tmp_img,NULL,40);
imagedestroy($tmp_img);
?>

 

edit::nvm imagejpeg is where its at
