Just wondering if anyone has a quick answer to this... I've been going round in circles trying to get it to work...

 

Firstly, I would like to use FileMaker Pro 13's base64encode function to encode a file in a container field, and then use httppost to send the encoded text to a php script on my web server which then does a base64_decode to then save the file (PDF, images etc) on the web server. However, php's base64_decode doesn't seem to work with the base64 encoded text that FileMaker has generated. The resulting file is saved, but cannot be opened/recognised.....

 

Further to this, I also need to be able to do the same in a FileMaker Pro 12 version, using the Base Elements Plugin functions to also do a base64 encode and an http POST....

 

Any ideas anyone..?

 

Many thanks,

 

Sky.

 

Aha - I think I found the answer...

 

In the php script on my web server I added the following line:

 

$data = str_replace(" ","+",$_POST['data']);

 

so it is now:

 

$data = str_replace(" ","+",$_POST['data']);
$data = base64_decode($data);
file_put_contents('test.png', $data);

 

..where $_POST['data'] is the base64 encoded text generated by FileMaker 13, and also the Base elements plugin....
