Hello all, I need a little help with a bit of php code to asp.net.

Environment: VS2008
Language: VB or C#

Complete source: http://code.google.com/p/jpegcam/
Specific file: test.php

I have tried various logical asp.net (vb) variations to no avail.  In short, the project is flash based and allows the user to take a snapshot from their web-cam then upload the image to a web server.  Permissions, settings and testing proved successful with the php code as well as a sample asp.net upload and file creation.  The error is in my asp.net code.

The php code is only a few lines long.  The line in question is below.

$result = file_put_contents( $filename, file_get_contents('php://input') );

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks a million, Dave

Entire php code:

<?php
$filename = date('YmdHis') . '.jpg';
$result = file_put_contents( $filename, file_get_contents('php://input') );
if (!$result) {
    print "ERROR: Failed to write data to $filename, check permissions\n";
    exit();
}

$url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . '/' . $filename;
print "$url\n";

?>

hi,

function file-put-contents is used to write a string to a file. To know about it in more detail, check following link:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php 

function file_get_contents is used to write a string to a file. To know about it in more detail, check following link:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

To convert the code from php to C#, refer this:

Regds,

Thanks kdevendra.

I have come up with a simple soultion that still needs error catching etc but works.

My primary problem was the file_get_contents('php://input') section. I had to read the contents as  raw posted data in a stream.

I came up with this and it finally worked.

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string strFile = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd_MMM_yymmss") + ".jpg";
      FileStream log = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(strFile),
       FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int c;
        while ((c = Request.InputStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
        {
            log.Write(buffer, 0, c);
        }
       //Write jpg filename to be picked up by regex and displayed on flash html page.
        Response.Write(strFile);
        log.Close();

    }
