html2canvas save image doesn't work

Question

I\'m rendering a screenshot with html2canvas 0.4.0 and want to save it as image on my webserver.

To do so, I\'ve written the following function:

JavaScript<

In case someone stumbles over the same problem, here is how I solved it:

The problem depended on the fact, that + in URLs is interpreted as an encoded space (like %20) by most servers. So I needed to encode the data first and then send it via POST to my designated PHP function.

Here is my code:

JavaScript

function screenShot(id) {

    html2canvas(id, {
        proxy: "https://html2canvas.appspot.com/query",
        onrendered: function(canvas) {

            var img = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
            var output = encodeURIComponent(img);

            var Parameters = "image=" + output + "&filedir=" + cur_path;
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "inc/savePNG.php",
                data: Parameters,
                success : function(data)
                {
                    console.log("screenshot done");
                }
            }).done(function() {
                //$('body').html(data);
            });

        }
    });
}    

savePNG.php

<?php
    $image = $_POST['image'];
    $filedir = $_POST['filedir'];
    $name = time();



    $image = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $image);
    $decoded = base64_decode($image);

    file_put_contents($filedir . "/" . $name . ".png", $decoded, LOCK_EX);


   echo $image;
?>    

Cheers!
