    I have been looking everywhere for a way that I can do this.
    before anything I must explain that the reason that I cant use HTML5 for this. is that some clients are not able to get HTML5 Browsers and whatever I make has to be compatible even with the Legacy Browsers.

    Having said that. I need to find a way that the user can upload an image and submitted to the server already as a base64. without having to make an extra trip to a server because that just defeats the purpose.
    This roadblock has got me thinking too. how was it done before HTML5. because everywhere I look people seem to be at lost with this question.
    Thanks for any feedback

    I don’t recall anyone asking this before so I suspect it isn’t quite the burning issue that you think it is.

    As far as I know, very few people were actually using B64 images but perhaps your information is different.

    Why does it have to be initially base64 encoded on upload? Why can’t the user upload the image and use PHP to encode it?
