Client Side System Requirements
Aurigma Image Uploader Flash is implemented as a Flash control, and therefore it works on any browser with Adobe Flash Player 10 installed. These include:
-
Internet Explorer
-
Firefox and other Mozilla-family browsers
-
Safari (Mac)
-
Chrome
-
Opera
-
...and others
In other words, it can work at almost every PC.
NoteJavaScript should be enabled in the browser.
Server Side System Requirements
Aurigma Image Uploader Flash is especially designed to be integrated into the two most widespread server platforms:
-
ASP.NET (.NET Framework 2.0 or higher)
-
PHP (version 5 or higher)
It can work with other server platforms as well. Aurigma Image Uploader Flash sends files using standard HTTP POST request in a multipart/form-data format described by RFC 1867. This means you can process uploads with any HTTP-compliant server platform, including (but not limited to):
-
ASP
-
JSP
-
ColdFusion
-
Perl
-
Ruby
-
Python
-
...
How You Integrate Aurigma Image Uploader Flash with a Website
If You're an ASP.NET Developer
ASP.NET developers can work with an Aurigma ASP.NET control in the same manner as any standard web control. You can drag and drop it in a page and configure it right within Visual Studio. You can also work with Image Uploader API from your C# or VB.NET code. For your convenience, a number of server-side upload processing routines are already implemented in this ASP.NET upload control.
If You're a PHP Developer
A special PHP upload library is available for PHP developers. This library allows them to insert Aurigma and configure it using pure PHP code. In addition, Aurigma simplifies server-side code development by including common upload processing tasks in the PHP library.
If You're Using Other Server Platform
Although we provide ASP.NET and PHP developers with an API especially designed for these platforms, they are not the only way to use Aurigma. Image Uploader can be inserted using pure JavaScript, which means that it is a truly platform-independent upload solution. There is a special JavaScript library which gives easy and straightforward access to Image Uploader API. In particular, you can set params, get different pieces of information from the uploader (such as a number of files selected), handle different events (such as file selection, or upload progress), and many other things.
The only server-side specific task involved in integrating Aurigma with your website is receiving posted files and saving them on your server. To do this you should parse the POST request in a similar manner as you would upload files through standard HTML form.
