I'm going to go ahead and post my problem here, but it's also on stack overflow. If you have a stack overflow account and would like to claim the bounty, jump on over to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7155975/uploading-problem-with-xmlhttprequest-level-2
Either way works for me. On to my question:
I'm attempting to upload a file via drag and drop with HTML5. The dragging and dropping bit works no problem - I can get the image I drag to display immediately by dumping the base64 in an img src tag. However, I need to pass the file to the server via POST. In the same request, I also need to pass a unique ID. Here's what my processing function looks like:
However, doing this returns an error from codeigniter: "Disallowed Key Characters". Also, it's not sending the unique ID I need. So I changed a few lines:
But that just sends the file as a string. What do I need to be doing here?
