Upload image by AIR app

Question

Have an issue with Air application and upload the image to server by php. What I'm doing wrong? On progress everything is alright, is showing progress and response, but php can't find an image.

        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://xxxxxxxxxx/api.php");           
        request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
        request.contentType = "application/octet-stream";
        var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();  
        variables.action = "addEntry";  
        variables.user = "1";
        request.data = variables; 

        var file:FileReference = new FileReference();           
        var filenameSmall:String = "xxxxx/" + _userName+"/thumbnail.jpg";
        if(_fb == true)
        {
            filenameSmall = "xxxxx/" + user +"/thumbnail.jpg";
        }
        file = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath( filenameSmall );
        file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, uploadProgress);
        file.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, uploadDataComplete);
        file.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, uploadError);
        file.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, uploadError); 
        file.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, uploadError);
        file.upload(request, "image");

It would be useful to see the PHP file, as you've said that the flash part works (shows progress etc.). — Lukasz 'Severiaan' Grela, Aug 07 '12 at 14:35
I found the solution. Code is correct, issue was on back-end side. But thanks for the answer. — goodm, Aug 08 '12 at 06:38

The upload of file reference could not send any request or variables to php files. It just upload the file to the path you have given in the url. If you want to save an image using php

you should convert the image to byte array,
Do any one the encoding process(either PNGEncoding or JPEGEncoding),
If you want then do any standard encoding(base64) for security
Then send that string to php
Make your php file to read that data and write it.
