arbitter Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi there. I need a multi-file uploader for my site. I have been researching my head off, trying plugns with flash (eg. uploadify) and jquery-html5 uploaders (Blueimp), but I just can't get it all to work. So I thought I'd make my own, simply with PHP, no fancy stuff. So I do it, and it works fine, except it has a maximum of a total of 8MB of pictures and maximum 20 pictures. I know some of these can be changed (or at least I think so), but then again I presume there are possibilities of time-out errors and even not enough memory allocation to the script? So the only solution to my problem would be, I guess, using ajax with jquery or so. Now I don't need anything fancy, and it doesn't need to work in all browsers. All I need is a simple way to upload files and run a script on those files. Since I have never actively used jquery, and certainly not the ajax api, I have no clue on how to get started. Could someone give a simple example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Because the upload is being handled by php on the server, you will be restricted by the size limits and file limit that are set on the server, no matter what you do on the client side. The swf/jquery based scripts upload one file per http request, so they are not bothered by the php max_file_uploads setting, but will still be stopped by the php upload_max_filesize/post_max_size settings. What exact problem are you trying to solve? Uploading a large number of files or uploading large files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitter Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well both actually... I'd like the uploader to be able to handle 100+ images of regular photo-camera quality. Theres no need for images larger than the 8MB, so the upload_max_filesize/post_max_size doesn't need to be altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahngiel Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 This is one of the simplest and most effective drag & drop ajax upload scripts I've seen. Have used it's base / core functionality on several projects. It's also the first google result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
