I have a canvas which I need to save to a directory and store the URL in a database.
When I save the file without storing the URL in the database it works fine, and vice versa.
However, when I put the two together and specify the PHP file through AJAX, for some reason it doesn't recognise the session variable?
When I try to call the "success" on AJAX, nothing shows up. I get no response.
This could possibly be an easy fix! I think I've been staring at this code for too long.
JavaScript:
function doodleSave() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("doodle-canvas");
var canvasData = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
$.ajax({
url:'doodleupload.php',
type:'POST',
data:{ data:canvasData },
success: function(response){
alert(response);
//echo what the server sent back...
}
});
}
PHP:
<?php
session_start();
/* AUTOMATED VARIABLES */
$url = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$unique_user_id = $_SESSION['unique_user_id'];
$unique_post_id = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$timestamp = time();
$nature = "doodle";
$imageUrl = $upload_dir.$url.'.png';
$upload_dir = "images/external/doodles/";
$img = $_POST['data'];
$img = substr($img,strpos($img,",")+1);
$data = base64_decode($img);
$file = $upload_dir . $url . ".png";
$success = file_put_contents($file, $data);
echo $success ? $file : 'Unable to save the file.';
require_once 'php/connect.php';
try
{
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO posts (unique_user_id, unique_post_id, nature, image_url, timestamp) VALUE (:unique_user_id, :unique_post_id, :nature, :image_url, :timestamp)");
$stmt->bindParam(":unique_user_id",$unique_user_id);
$stmt->bindParam(":unique_post_id",$unique_post_id);
$stmt->bindParam(":nature",$nature);
$stmt->bindParam(":image_url",$imageUrl);
$stmt->bindParam(":timestamp",$timestamp);
if($stmt->execute())
{
echo "File in database";
}
else
{
echo "Not in database";
}
}
catch(PDOException $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}
?>
