Upload a base64 img and audio file with phonegap and php - php

Question

This is phonogap code for uploading captured audio...
function uploadFile(mediaFile) {
var ft = new FileTransfer(),
path = mediaFile.fullPath,
name = mediaFile.name; //audio comes here...path and name of file
var img64 = imgdata; // here comes image in base64 and will decode at php in server side
ft.upload(path,
"http://my.domain.com/upload.php",
function(result) {
console.log('Upload success: ' + result.responseCode);
console.log(result.bytesSent + ' bytes sent');
},
function(error) {
console.log('Error uploading file ' + path + ': ' + error.code);
},
{ fileName: name });
}
I want to upload both image data in base 64 and audio file by using that Fileuploader and store in PHP to a url
In PHP
$img = $_POST['image'];
$img = str_replace(' ', '+', $img);
$data = base64_decode($img); // FOR AUDIO how do i GET ?

Why don't you use $_FILES instead of base64-encoded $_POST?

These statements seem to be very important:
fileKey
The name of the form element. If not set defaults tofile. (DOMString)
fileName
The file name you want the file to be saved as on the server. If not set defaults toimage.jpg. (DOMString)
Example:
<?php
$upload_key = 'file';
if (isset($_FILES[$upload_key])) {
try {
$error = $_FILES[$upload_key]['error'];
if (is_array($error))
throw new Exception('This script can\'t accept multiple files');
switch ($error) {
case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
throw new Exception('Exceeded upload_max_filesize');
case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE:
throw new Exception('Exceeded MAX_FILE_SIZE');
case UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL:
throw new Exception('Incomplete file uploaded');
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
throw new Exception('No file uploaded');
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR:
throw new Exception('No tmp directory');
case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE:
throw new Exception('Can\'t write data');
case UPLOAD_ERR_EXTENSION:
throw new Exception('Extension error');
}
$finfo = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME);
$name = $_FILES[$upload_key]['name'];
$tmp_name = $_FILES[$upload_key]['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES[$upload_key]['size'];
if ($size > 1000000)
throw new Exception('Exceeded 1MB limit');
if (!is_uploaded_file($tmp_name))
throw new Exception('Not an uploaded file');
$type = $finfo->file($tmp_name);
if ($type === false)
throw new Exception('Failed to get MimeType');
if (substr($type, 'image/') !== 0);
throw new Exception('Only images available');
$new_name = dirname(__FILE__).'/upload/'.$name;
if (is_file($new_name))
throw new Exception("The file {$new_name} already exists");
if (!move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $new_name))
throw new Exception('Failed to move uploaded file');
$msg = "File successfully uploaded as {$new_name}";
} catch (Exception $e) {
$msg = 'Error: '.$e->getMessage();
}
} else {
$msg = 'No file sent';
}
echo $msg;
