How to Make Online Photo Capturing Application Using Flash and PHP

In this tutorial am going to explain how to create a webcam photo capturing application using Flash and PHP. This application works on flash platform. Flash will capture the photo and send to PHP to save it in web directory. I will also explain you the action script used to develop this application.

Photo capturing application using Flash and PHP
Basically it will create a video and get a bitmap image from it. The JPGE encoder will make it as a jpg image and send it to PHP. PHP will get image from flash using $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"] and save it in a directory.

• You can view demo and download the example file below:

main code

    import flash.display.Bitmap;
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
    //Sound for the "Capture" button click
    var snd:Sound = new camerasound();
    //Set the maximum amount of bandwidth that the current outgoing video feed can use
    //Should be in bytes per second.
    var bandwidth:int = 0;
    // This value is 0-100 with 1 being the lowest quality.
    var quality:int = 100;
    //Run Camera
    var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
    cam.setQuality(bandwidth, quality);
    //Now setMode(videoWidth, videoHeight, video fps, favor area)
    cam.setMode(320,240,30,false);
    var video:Video = new Video();
    video.attachCamera(cam);
    video.x = 20;
    video.y = 20;
    addChild(video);
    //Image Data
    var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(video.width,video.height);
    var bitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
    //Set height and width for image
    bitmap.x = 360;
    bitmap.y = 20;
    addChild(bitmap);
    capture_mc.buttonMode = true;
    //OnClick image captur
    capture_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,captureImage);
    function captureImage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    snd.play();
    bitmapData.draw(video);
    save_mc.buttonMode = true;
    save_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onSaveJPG);
    save_mc.alpha = 1;
    }
    save_mc.alpha = .5;
    function onSaveJPG(e:Event):void{
    var myEncoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
    var byteArray:ByteArray = myEncoder.encode(bitmapData);
    var header:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
    //PHP fle to save the image
    var saveJPG:URLRequest = new URLRequest("save.php");
    saveJPG.requestHeaders.push(header);
    saveJPG.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    saveJPG.data = byteArray;
    var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sendComplete);
    urlLoader.load(saveJPG);
    function sendComplete(event:Event):void{
    warn.visible = true;
    addChild(warn);
    warn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, warnDown);
    warn.buttonMode = true;
    }
    } 

Now flash captured image will send to save.php. Below is the php script to save this image in a directory.
