That’s the best solution all right.

I write the blob from Oracle into a temporary server folder (directory listing forbidden for security). I then pass the link to the file back to flex and the end-user gets the option to open or save the file.

Working perfect so far but I suppose I’ll need some process to delete the files from the temporary folder at regular intervals.

Thanks,

Thanks for this excellent example. I got it to work and even modified it to send the uploaded files to blobs in Oracle.

However the problem now is getting the data downloaded back to flex 4.

Even a simple PHP script like

function downloadFiles() {
    return new ByteArray(file_get_contents('../../_uploads/movies.docx'));
}

is failing with the error: RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.

I can’t seem to get a bytearray from amfphp to flex. Any suggestions ?

Thanks!
Steve

// Called when the load of a file in the application is complete
private function handleFileLoadedComplete(e:Event):void{
    // our file
    var fileRef:FileReference = e.target as FileReference;
    // setting the current file
    _currentUploadingFile = fileRef;
    // reading the content of the file
 
    var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
    encoder.encodeBytes(fileRef.data);
 
    var tmpFileContent:String = encoder.toString();				
 
    // calling the server method with the needed 
    // parameters: the filename and the file content
    myUploadService.uploadFiles({filedata: tmpFileContent, filename: fileRef.name});
}

on the php side put this line:

file_put_contents($myFilePath, base64_decode($fileData["filedata"]));

you should declare the Base64Encoder instance outside the flex function though …

Happy Uploading
