How would I go about taking a picture from a video capture card or webcam? Should I use flash to do this? I want to submit the picture via a php form and upload it to my webserver and place a link to it in my MySQL database. Is there a flash app already built that I can use to perform this?
try this:

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.

I am an novice in Javascript and PHP. I am working on to create a visitor management system where a web form is used to insert the data and when clicked on Submit button data are stored in the database and a pass is printed. But my problem is that I am trying to use a web cam to take the snap of the visitor and want to save it in the database as BLOB. I don't have any idea but tried http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/ etc and couldn't find any clue. Kindly help.
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 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.

u knw gmail file upload exact like that
It boils down to "Don't use XHR. Do use Flash or iframes". There are libraries that will do the heavy lifting for you.
Just use jQuery ajax upload plugin http://valums.com/ajax-upload/. It is actually not ajax, it's invisible iframe, but result is almost same.
For server-side you can use php with gd-library and some simple MySQL queries.
