jQuery webcam plugin - saving image
You going to need to do a little PHP Here is a basic upload script, from the JPEGCam project
<?php
/* JPEGCam Test Script */
/* Receives JPEG webcam submission and saves to local file. */
/* Make sure your directory has permission to write files as your web server user! */
$filename = date('YmdHis') . '.jpg';
$result = file_put_contents( '/path/to/file/store/or/site/' . $filename,
file_get_contents('php://input') );
if (!$result) {
print "ERROR: Failed to write data to $filename, check permissions\n";
exit();
}
$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . '/'
. $filename;
print "$url\n";
?>

im having a hard time saving the image captured from the webcam using the jquery webcam plugin. here's the code..
$(document).ready(function(){ $("#camera").webcam({ width: 320, height: 240, mode: "save", swffile: "jscam.swf", }); });
i am using the 'save' mode. in the body part..
<div id="camera"></div> <a href="javascript:webcam.save('upload.php');void(0);">capture</a>
in the upload.php part..
$str = file_get_contents("php://input"); file_put_contents("upload.jpg", pack("H*", $str));
i also tried the callback mode still doesnt work. it seems the blog itself has insufficient examples
http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/
[update]
finally got it working! i can capture the images. i dug up the source code of the page and added an onload eventlistener on my code :D
now my only problem is how to save the image. the blog doesn't clearly specify how. it just gave the codes
webcam.save('/upload.php');
which is honestly i don't know what to do with it, unlike the php code he gave. should i put it in a link? or edit the onCapture part?
