ActionScript 3: Can not Find Uploaded Files - actionscript-3

Question

This is my first ActionScript 3 application. It is supposed to upload data to specific location, which should be the www root location - the location where upload.php resides.
After I run the ActionScript application, I can select the file and I can see that the data is being uploaded, but I can never find it.
Would you be so kind, please, and help me to understand what is going on, and how can I find the uploaded data? I checked both: temporary files location, and the target destination.
Here is the ActionScript code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.text.*;
public class ch30ex2 extends Sprite {
protected var fileRef:FileReference;
protected var uploadButton:TestButton;
protected var tf:TextField;
protected const YOUR_UPLOAD_URL:String = "http://localhost/Saifa/www/upload.php";
public function ch30ex2() {
fileRef = new FileReference();
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, cancelHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
var btn:TestButton;
btn = new TestButton(100, 25, "Browse...");
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:Event):void {
fileRef.browse();
});
btn.x = btn.y = 20;
addChild(btn);
uploadButton = btn = new TestButton(100, 25, "Upload");
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:Event):void {
fileRef.upload(new URLRequest(YOUR_UPLOAD_URL));
});
btn.x = 20; btn.y = 55;
addChild(btn);
tf = new TextField();
tf.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", 11, 0);
tf.multiline = tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.width = 300; tf.x = 130; tf.y = 58;
addChild(tf);
cancelHandler(null);
}
protected function selectHandler(event:Event):void {
tf.text = fileRef.name;
uploadButton.mouseEnabled = uploadButton.tabEnabled = true;
uploadButton.alpha = 1;
}
protected function cancelHandler(event:Event):void {
tf.text = "";
uploadButton.mouseEnabled = uploadButton.tabEnabled = false;
uploadButton.alpha = 0.3;
}
protected function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
tf.text = "Uploading " +
event.bytesLoaded + " / " + event.bytesTotal + "bytes ...";
}
protected function errorHandler(event:ErrorEvent):void {
tf.text = event.text;
}
protected function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
tf.text = "Upload complete!";
}
}
}
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
class TestButton extends Sprite {
public var label:TextField;
public function TestButton(w:Number, h:Number, labelText:String) {
graphics.lineStyle(0.5, 0, 0, true);
graphics.beginFill(0xa0a0a0);
graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, w, h, 8);
label = new TextField();
addChild(label);
label.defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", 11, 0, true, false,
false, null, null, "center");
label.width = w;
label.height = h;
label.text = labelText;
label.y = (h - label.textHeight)/2 - 2;
buttonMode = true;
mouseChildren = false;
}
}
and here is the PHP code, which is supposed to copy the temporary uploaded file:
<?php
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘tmp_name’], ‘./‘.time().$_FILES[‘Filedata’][‘name’]);
?>
All the code is from ActionScript Bible book
I would kindly like to ask for the following:
What can be the possible sources of my problem?
Looks my code correct? It gets compiled by FlashBuilder without problems
How can I identify source of my issue?
If you would have an example of working ActionScript + PHP application, I would be happy to see it.
As I spend hours after hours trying various things and combinations, I hope somebody might have had similar problem. Thank you.

Answer 1

In your PHP statement, there's a weired quote ‘ instead of a simple quote '.
<?php
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], './'.time().$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
?>
I tried with this and it worked fine.
Also here's the MXML i used to test:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
minHeight="600"
minWidth="955"
creationComplete="application1_creationCompleteHandler(event)"
