使用PHP从HTML5网络摄像头保存快照

Question

I am planning on setting up a (family friendly) webcam hosting service using HTML5 and PHP. To start with, I need to set up the webpage which takes the photo.

I am looking for a system which uses HTML5 to connect to the webcam then can automatically take a photo every minute. I will then need it to upload the photo and send data to a MySQL database using PHP.

Does anyone know where I could be able to find a way to do this?

If there is no way of doing this, does anyone know any more secure alternatives which can do this?

Answer 1

It should be possible with html5 API's like navigator.getUserMedia and navigator.mozGetUserMedia en it should also be possible to generate a data (base64_encoded) string based on a canvas image that you can send by AJAX or FILE API's to a PHP script

html5rocks has good examples for it.
