jQuery question

[lakkpoll]

Is it possible to have jQuery make a progressbar while doing a php action like ziping files and then display the progress of that action ?

 

Thanks for your time.

You can look at a PEAR library for alike

http://pear.php.net/package/Console_ProgressBar/

 

But you'd need AJAX for any kind of talk between PHP and the progress bar, If you wanted to do it yourself, You can estimate zipping time based on the size of the file, Javascript cannot handle uploads, only contain them, You'd need to use Java or Flash to create a working upload meter.
