$image_validation = array('image/jpeg','image/png','image/gif');
if($_FILES){
// validate uploaded file for allowed mime type
if(in_array($_FILES['image']['type'],$image_validation)){
// base64 encode image
$image = file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
$image_base64 = base64_encode($image);
$json_request ='{
