I'm very new to php and javascript, I'm trying to make a form where you can upload an image and display its preview on the same page, and my code works, the problem is that I need to get that image's URL in order to upload it to my Parse Server. Here's the code I use:
<!-- UPLOAD AVATAR -->
<div class="text-center">
<img id="avatar-img" src="images/80.png" width="100" height="100" class="img-circle img-thumbnail img-responsive"></p>
<input style="display:none" id="input-image-hidden" onchange="document.getElementById('avatar-img').src = window.URL.createObjectURL(this.files[0])" type="file" accept="image/jpeg, image/png">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" onclick="HandleBrowseClick('input-image-hidden');" >Upload an avatar</button>
<p id="theImageURL"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
getImageURL();
function HandleBrowseClick(input_image) {
var fileinput = document.getElementById(input_image);
fileinput.click();
}
function getImageURL() {
var x = document.getElementById("avatar-img").src;
document.getElementById("theImageURL").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
So, when i first run my signUp.php
page, I can get the URL of my 80.png image, which looks like: http://www.example.com/images/80.png
and it get shown into my <p id="theImageURL"></p>
tag. I need to get that string and pass it to a php function to upload that image to Parse Server:
$localFilePath = "URL_OF_MY_PREVIEW_IMAGE";
$file = ParseFile::createFromFile($localFilePath, "image.jpg");
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
