PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 For the original question that was asked in this thread - AJAX by itself cannot upload files. Javascript does not have the ability to read files in all browsers and the XMLHttpRequest object does not provide a way of emulating a file upload. A form must be submitted for a file to be uploaded. For the post that was just added to this thread, php is currently not able to provide a real time upload progress bar (amount/percent/time remaining...) You can have an upload "activity" indicator and there are many existing scripts. Check out this thread and the script that was attached to one of the posts - http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,218553.0.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117656-file-upload-through-ajax/#findComment-659699 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you try that, you will find it works poorly in updating the progress and it is single-threaded (cannot handle the status of more than one upload at a time.)
