I worte a simple file uploader so people can upload files free to my server. http://uploader.propmodule.com/


Some people have tried to upload really big files which is fine but I really should have some kind of progress bar or something to show it is still going. I have no clue how to do this anyone know?

You didn't try Google first? I searched php file upload progress bar and got a bunch of useful-looking hits.

Yes I did. Everything I got you had to pay for.

You're not doing it right then.

SRLM

If you are working on improving the software, you should make it ignore capitals. I have used two different logins (mistakenly): srlm and SRLM. While it's not a big deal, it is a bit disconcerting.

good point. removing case sensitivity is easy will do that and reconcile the 2 name.

Harrison.

Most sites implement progress bars for uploading by using Flash. There have been a bunch of free implementations released over the past year (thanks to Google adding Flash based uploads in Gmail). The server side code is the same as if you were just using a multipart-form upload.

Other non-flash solutions are hacky at best, and require a bunch of work on the server side. I highly recommend using Flash as nearly everyone has Flash support. It also gives you an easy way to provide a fallback upload method.

I like these two:

having fun getting fancy fun to work with sessions.

you need to manually come back to this page after loging in.

everything works except for some reason the ajax script does not maintain the session and therefor thinks you are not loged in and rejects your upload.


here is the code if anyone can see what is wrong.

since people have asked if you want to play with php yourself you can install xampp on windows computers or Apache on linux computers.

On your advice, I installed xampp this morning, and it runs fine (Vista here). I didn't get PHP going yet, but I did some reading this morning that suggests where the issue is. This should really be worth learning.

php is wonderful language. both simple and powerful.

Here is a PHP/Ajax/Java script ai ludo game i made with a friend. I wrote the AI in PHP and communicate using AJAX with the javascript board my friend made. If it was not for the animation the entire page could have been written in PHP.
