通过as3将ByteArray发送到PHP

Question

The BLOB field (pic) is turning out as 0 Bytes when trying to send ByteArray through as3 to PHP, so i assume the PHP script or the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA isn't working.

I think the Flash part is working, I have set a trace() to see if the bitmapdata is coming through and it seems it is, so I'm assuming its my php side. I'll post both parts of the code in hope someone here can fix it for me. Thanks.

AS3

    private function export():void
    {
        var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(600, 290);
        bmd.draw(board);
        var ba:ByteArray = PNGEncoder.encode(bmd);
        trace(ba);
        var _request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://site.com/readimage.php");
        var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
        _request.contentType = "application/octet-stream";
        _request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
        _request.data = ba;
        loader.load(_request);
    }

PHP

    <?php
$username = "images";
$password = "password";
$host = "localhost";
$database = "images";

$link = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db ($database);

$query ="INSERT INTO main (pic) VALUES ('".$GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]."')" or die(mysql_error());
$results = mysql_query($query, $link);
?>

$blob = file_get_contents('php://input');

This should work for you. This accesses PHP's raw input stream. It's more likely to work in some cases, apparently:

php://input allows you to read raw data from the request body. In case of POST requests, it preferrable to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA as it does not depend on special php.ini directives. Moreover, for those cases where $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is not populated by default, it is a potentially less memory intensive alternative to activating always_populate_raw_post_data.

You'll also want to ensure that you properly escape this data when placing it in the database:

$query = "INSERT INTO main (pic) VALUES ('" . mysql_real_escape_string($blob) . "')";

(It is also possible that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA's magic only works when you reference it directly instead of through the $GLOBALS array.)
