I figured out one solution, but would still welcome others related to recorderjs. I used MP3RecorderJS at https://github.com/icatcher-at/MP3RecorderJS. The demo html works if you change the top of the html from src="js/jquery.min.js" and src="js/mp3recorder.js" to wherever they're located in your server. For me, it is src="jquery.min.js" and src="mp3recorder.js" I also had to do the same thing to the "mp3recorder.js" file: var RECORDER_WORKER_PATH = 'js/recorderWorker.js'; var ENCODER_WORKER_PATH = 'js/mp3Worker.js'; changed to var RECORDER_WORKER_PATH = 'recorderWorker.js'; var ENCODER_WORKER_PATH = 'mp3Worker.js';
The program is set up to record both mp3 and wav. I wanted wav, so I made a few more adjustments to the html file. At line 55 you'll find:
recorderObject.exportMP3(function(base64_mp3_data) {
var url = 'data:audio/mp3;base64,' + base64_mp3_data;
var au = document.createElement('audio');
I changed that to:
recorderObject.exportWAV(function(base64_wav_data) {
var url = 'data:audio/wav;base64,' + base64_wav_data;
var au = document.createElement('audio');
The demo appends a new player each time you record. To prevent this, I deleted (commented out) the $recorder.append(au); part, made a new div to store the audio player, and then I clear that div each time, before the audio player is created. To upload to my server, I used a technique I learned from uploading images to a server save canvas image to server Basically, the "url" variable in line 56 was what I needed, but couldn't figure out how to put it in a universal variable to use by another function. So, I made a hidden div and made the contents of it equal to "url". I then referenced that div in a new function called "upload". I then used a php file called "uploadWav.php". I still have to figure out a way to activate and deactivate the upload button to prevent the user from uploading a blank file before recording, but that's another issue. Here's the final html and php that worked for me:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>MP3 Recorder test</title>

<body id="index" onload="">

navigator.getUserMedia = ( navigator.getUserMedia ||

window.URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
var audio_context = new AudioContext;
__log('Audio context set up.');
__log('navigator.getUserMedia ' + (navigator.getUserMedia ? 'available.' : 'not present!'));
} catch (e) {
alert('No web audio support in this browser!');
}
$('.recorder .start').on('click', function() {
$this = $(this);
$recorder = $this.parent();
navigator.getUserMedia({audio: true}, function(stream) {
var recorderObject = new MP3Recorder(audio_context, stream, { statusContainer: $recorder.find('.status'), statusMethod: 'replace' });
$recorder.data('recorderObject', recorderObject);
recorderObject.start();
}, function(e) { });
});
$('.recorder .stop').on('click', function() {
$this = $(this);
$recorder = $this.parent();
recorderObject = $recorder.data('recorderObject');
recorderObject.stop();
recorderObject.exportWAV(function(base64_wav_data) {
var url = 'data:audio/wav;base64,' + base64_wav_data;
var au = document.createElement('audio');
document.getElementById("playerContainer").innerHTML = "";
//console.log(url)
var duc = document.getElementById("dataUrlcontainer");
duc.innerHTML = url;
au.controls = true;
au.src = url;
//$recorder.append(au);
$('#playerContainer').append(au);
recorderObject.logStatus('');
});
});
});
</script>
<script>
function upload(){
var dataURL = document.getElementById("dataUrlcontainer").innerHTML;
$.ajax({

and the "uploadWav.php" file:
<?php

$img = $_POST['wavBase64'];
$img = str_replace('data:audio/wav;base64,', '', $img);
$img = str_replace(' ', '+', $img);

$file = UPLOAD_DIR . uniqid() . '.wav';
$success = file_put_contents($file, $data);
print $success ? $file : 'Unable to save the file.';
