That doesn't sound like the right approach to me though. PHP will have
to have the entire image in a string, instead of just writing it to a
file. This may give problems on larger images.
I'd still suggest you change your applet to use the standard post method
that browsers use. You'll need a header stating the Content-Type is
multipart/form-data. The posted contents needs to be formatted like a
MIME message. As far as I can tell you don't need to encode the data in
any way. (A quick test using tcptrace shows that at least firefox posts
image data unencoded.)
I am in no way qualified to give Java advice (and this is not the
newsgroup to give it in), but you may want to try using the apache
commons HTTP client class:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/
I have used it successfully in the past to post data to a server. It
takes care of all the low-level details for you, and can post the image
contents in a browser-compatible way. Doing it this way you know that
the PHP side will be trivial, as PHP will save the posted data in a file
for you.
HTH,
Gertjan.
