Java applet - save image to server...

Question

My applet generates Image object which I then want to save it to that same server that the applet is running from.
I'm planning to send the image to a .php file through $_POST parameter and then let the PHP deal with the filename, location...etc
How would I do that? I tried every keyword combination with google and I haven't found any good examples on this. Either it's too simple or too hard?

Answer 1

yeah I thought about that.
I'm trying to post the entire image to my servlet.
Here is what I got so far:
                URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com/test/something.php");
                URLConnection urlConn = url.openConnection();
                DataOutputStream printout;
                DataInputStream input;
                urlConn.setDoInput(true);
                urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
                urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
                printout = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream());
                printout.writeBytes("imagedata=");
                printout.write(bytesOut); // bytesOut is my BufferedImage converted into bytes array
                printout.flush();
                printout.close();my servlet code:
<?php
$img_data = $_POST['imagedata'];
$fp = fopen('test.jpeg', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $img_data);
fclose($fp);
?>
the servlet DOES receive the image but the image is corrupted.
