Accessing ArrayBuffer from PHP $_POST after xmlHTTPrequest send()
- by Dan
I'm following the tuitions on XMLHttpRequest 2 from :
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/XMLHttpRequest/Sending_and_Receiving_Binary_Data
and
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/xhr2/#toc-send-arraybuffer
They're great tutorials for the client side, and here is a working extract from my script:
var imagebuffer = new ArrayBuffer(size); // create the readonly memory buffer
var imagedata= new Uint8Array(imagebuffer); // create a view to manipulate data
// do some cool stuff with imagedata
var exchange=new XMLHttpRequest();
exchange.open("POST",url,true);
exchange.send(arraybuffer);
So far so good, and I can see from the both client and server control panels that plenty of data is being transferred.
Here's my problem: how do I access the ArrayBuffer with PHP at the server?
I'm used to the $_POST superglobal wanting parameters passing from a HTML form so it can be accessed as an array but I can't find any reference for how to access this binary array and stick it in my MySQL database.
