Hi I want to be able to create an image from a movieclip or the whole scene and upload it on a ftp server and to a database.

I have one working solution for something close to this but it only lets me download the image

\<?php  
switch ($\_POST[“format”])  
{  
case ‘jpg’:  
header(‘Content-Type: image/jpeg’);  
break;

```
case 'png':
header('Content-Type: image/png');
break;

```

}

if ($\_POST[‘action’] == ‘prompt’)  
{  
header(“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”.$\_POST[‘fileName’]);  
}

echo base64\_decode($\_POST[“image”]);  
?\>

how can I get this code to upload the image to the server and database instead?
