LiveCode Forums.

I've been reading the iOS notes as I've been trying to formulate how I'm going to post an image to a php script. I have had success in posting text to a url in a variable and figured that I could do the same with a picture. This didn't seem to work.

on mouseUp
put the imagedata of image "bob" into thebinarydata
put image "bob" into binarydata
post thebinarydata to url "##a url commented out"
send "swipeRight" to me in 0 seconds
end mouseUp

The problem that I've found with the above is that it DOES post and the server gets the data however when its converted it just turns into a corrupted image that cannot be opened with a filesize of 0bytes.

I then started looking into the liburl method which seemed to work for some users...however...in my reading of the iOS notes iOS doesn't support this at this time. I of course attempted it anyways and it didn't post anything. Am I correct in that liburl cannot be used to send data on the iOS or is my thinking wrong?

Thanks everyone!

Here is another thought....when you take a pic with the camera and save to the camera roll on the iphone itself it is saved as a JPEG....I just got a note of png response on a test send to the server.....does livecode import the images you take as a png and not a JPEG? That's way far fetched but...it would make sense if the server is trying to convert binary data to a JPEG and the image is really a PNG it would corrupt....

Just tried Seems to send but still having issues. Both methods listed do "send" data...just not sure if its the correct method.

Turns out that the image was being stripped of data by the post command. The image was being made web friendly and all "+" that the image contained were being converted to "_". A php script on the server I am posting to that reverts those changes fixed the issue. What a pain! lol!!!!
