Need help in Posting pasted image to PHP via Javascript
I'm a total Javascript-illiterate, but I need your help in modifying the following code so that it can
I'd much appreciate it if you could help....
- allow users to paste their clipboard image (via Chrome), and
- upload the image along with other user input to my PHP script via POST.

1. Add a hidden input to your form to store the data in
2. Either in your paste event handler or onsubmit handler put the contents of the canvas into the control
The following sample adds an onsubmit handler to add the image on submit

This is a very cool idea, but I wonder about the efficacy of an application that doesn't work for the majority of browsers. It might be worth triggering some kind of alternate event to prompt / redirect the client to save the clipboard if a non-Chrome browser encounters the application. I don't know how to do that -- just a thought...

Dear Julian,
I'm blown away by your codes (including the php script) !!
Thank you so much!
...but going hidden inputs would make it a two-step process (requiring two pages)...
I apologize for being greedy while I'm being helped so much, is there any way that we could send the image and the user texts (via <input> tags) at the same time...?
And Ray, thank you for the stats, too! That's a good point, and thank you again, Julian, for adding the filter too!

I don't understand why you need two pages?
Just add the other inputs to the same form.
