Inserting image from webserver to container field

[johnlewisdesign]

Hi I'm successfully using JS/PHP to drag and drop an image to a webserver via a webviewer during a product creation process. The goal is to construct a product, send to an online shop using its API, continue and finalise the product in FMP12.

 

The problem is, when uploaded successfully, I then need to populate a container field on my local file with the same image so FileMaker can use it.

 

Short of making my user drag and drop twice which is going to look silly (webviewer and container), does anyone know a graceful way to insert/embed an image to a container from a webserver? Obviously I can return a URL to the image by getting the web viewer contents, I just need to know how to get this into a container so FileMaker can use it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I had a similar project and similar thought, then I just skipped the container altogether. The url to the image might be all you need. ¶ Do you have an example of what you need FMP to do with the image.
