jpegcam (jquery plugin) and codeigniter

[eluser]Nikita[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm trying to get jpegcam working with codeigniter. But it seems like this is harder then i first thought.

WIKI API: http://code.google.com/p/jpegcam/wiki/APIDocs

My problem i basically "webcam.set_api_url( 'test.php' );" where i need to access a php file. But, i need the codeigniter goodies and tools, so using a php-file outside of codeigniter is unacceptable. When i create a library class i can't access it, even if i remove the .htaccess file (just for testing).

Is there anyway i can give a normal .php file the codeingiter tools without a class? i've also tried to use __construct but it seems like the file wont work then.

Any help would be great!

NOT Working code:

Code:

class Webcam
{
    public function __construc() {
        parent::__construct();
        $folder = 'uploads/';
        $filename = strtotime("now").'.jpg';
        $input_con = file_get_contents("php://input");
        $file_path = $folder.$filename;
        file_put_contents($file_path,$input_con);
    }
    
}

Working code:

Code:

$folder = 'uploads/';
$filename = strtotime("now").'.jpg';
$input_con = file_get_contents("php://input");
$file_path = $folder.$filename;
file_put_contents($file_path,$input_con);

Just use a normal CI-style URL, like example.com/jpegcam, which would then load a controller named Jpegcam. Inside it would be your code for handling whatever the JS script sends it. You're overcomplicating things.

I've already tried this, and it's not working. That was the first thing i did, also tried with a clean install of CI.

Dunno if it's the file_get_contents("php://input"); or something like that. (Yes, the script still works fine outside of CI)

What CodeIgniter resources do you need? You should also state specifically what is not working. Are you receiving an error, or what?

No errors at all, i'll need to use the sessions and image cropping class.

I don't know what CI does to any POSTed data well enough to know exactly why you wouldn't be able to access "php://input", but I'm sure there's some sort of way you could get it to show up properly in a standard CI controller. You should do some testing, maybe look into the Core code and see what might be affecting this.

As a last resort (you should do the above first), perhaps you could send a cURL request to a CI file from your outside script with whatever data you'd need, like the filename and whatnot.
