I needed a simple way to take product images on a local webpage.
Instead of taking a picture with you phone, send image to your computer and upload it – why not use a simple webcam?
I followed this tutorial: http://fuel-efficient-vehicles.org/pwsdb/?p=304. So look at the tutorial if you need more info.
takePicture.php
Take a photo with your webcam
You have to accept that your browser can access the webcam, if you haven't already!
savePicture.php
"; // Show photo
list($type, $rawData) = explode(';', $rawData);
list(, $rawData) = explode(',', $rawData);
$unencoded = base64_decode($rawData);
$filename = $getMercID.'_'.date('dmYHi').'_'.rand(1111,9999).'.jpg'; // Set a filename
file_put_contents("images/products/$filename", base64_decode($rawData)); // Save photo to folder
// Update product database with the new filename
$query = "UPDATE products SET
product_photo='".$filename."'
WHERE id='".$getMercID."'";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
}
// Stop if product id is missing
else {
die('Product ID is missing...');
}
?>
