Welcome to my latest article - "Creating a Hybrid Photo Uploader with PHP, HTML5, and mySQL". I had fun putting this example application together, mixing in some things I find interesting (file uploads with PHP, converting an uploaded color photo to a black and white version leveraging a HTML5 Canvas and some JavaScript, previewing the photo prior to uploading with JQuery, and storing the data in a mySQL database). The app not only runs on desktop browsers but also on my Android phone (I'm using KSWeb for the PHP/mySQL that runs on my Galaxy Note). The complete code is available as an archive zip file. I hope you find this information useful. Thanks for reading, by the way. Now, on to the meat and potatoes of this post. |
