Triggering a FLASH Event function - php

I am trying to build a simple application. The first phase is selecting to upload a file from the user desktop or from the site's gallery.
The question is if the user chose to upload from the gallery, say, go to an PHP page gallery, choose a photo and then redirected to the Flash app. How would you trigger the Flash up to know there was an image chosen and it should load it?
Does PHP send a variable or create an XML based on a choice and pass it via Flash variable, or does it need JavaScript to tell Flash that if the Flash var is not empty run this function? Could you please give a sample script I could work on?


Why are you starting the upload process outside of Flash when you want to use the file inside of the Flash application? Use FileReference to initiate the file upload, save the image name locally and have the php script you hand the file off to store the file in a known place, then listen for the Complete event. From there, you should be able to load the file into Flash from your server using the path "KnownDirectory/SavedFileName" with URLLoader.

file upload using angularjs in php on button click

the upload using the angular frontend (whichever way this is handled) sends the file data to a script on the server such as a php script (which is my preferred method). Once the php script has run I want to return to the page from which the upload was made and give a message there..I dont want the php page to display. Will appreciate some guidance on how to achieve this. Ideally what code to add to the php script. but i want upload procedure on button click or ng-click not "onFileSelect"

You can use ng-file-upload directive, with many server side samples.

how to preview uploaded image in php form

i created PHP form for my site, with image upload option on it.
but it only show the image name before image submitted, but i want to view/preview the image/file before submit so how this possible in this?
"file36":{"label":"Select/Upload a Student's Photo","accept":"jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmt","files":true,"attach":true,"database":true,"maxbytes":204800,"fieldtype":"fileupload","required":true,}},

As far as I know this is not possible with php until you upload the image.
However, you are able to do so with jquery.
Check out http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/

The old way is to upload the image to a temp folder, create an iframe and load the response there. Then link the temp image from the iframe to a hidden field in the final form with JavaScript. When you submit the form place the image in the right folder. Finally run a cron job every 24-48h to empty out the temp folder.
The new way is the File API supported in IE10+ and all modern browsers. Fallbacks in Flash and Silverlight exist for older browsers.

You obviously misunderstand how file uploads w/ PHP work.
PHP is server side programming language, meaning, it can only execute and access scripts, that are on the server. So, for PHP to access / analyze a picture in any way, it has to be on the server already.
You can upload the file in a temporary directory, analyze it and, if it suits your needs, move to a permanent folder. Otherwise, just delete it.

how to make an interactive uploader like gmail and facebook have?

I want to make a interactive uploading option like Facebook and gmail have where they show the progress of the current file in uploading and then show the respective image or name of the file over there after the upload.
Right now, i'm using php and normal html for uploading where i send the file from one page to another where php handles it accordingly but i want a interactive one which show the progress also on the same page and then the name of the file after uploading without page refresh.
I knew, it can be done with ajax and css but i don't know how. All i want a interactive upload-er which uploads the file and then provide me the respective file name.

Gmail uses firefox file api, read more about it here https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_files_from_web_applications

I think what you are looking for is SWFUpload.
From the feature list:
Upload multiple files at once by ctrl/shift-selecting in dialog
Javascript callbacks on all events
Get file information before upload starts
Style upload elements with XHTML and css
Display information while files are uploading using HTML
No page reloads necessary
Works on all platforms/browsers that has Flash support.
Degrades gracefully to normal HTML upload form if Flash or javascript is unavailable
Control filesize before upload starts
Only display chosen filetypes in dialog
Queue uploads, remove/add files before starting upload
