phpknight Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I am using HTTP_Upload to upload a series of large files (up to 50MB). For security reasons, FTP cannot be used. I would like to use HTML_Progress2 to graph the progress for the user. So, how do you go about getting the size of the file before actually uploading it? Before the upload beings, I would like to give a total size to the user. And how do you get the size as it is being uploaded? This way, I can make the graph. Any help would be appreciated.

micah1701 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 you can't do this with PHP because your server side script has no idea how big the file is on your user's hard drive. You won't know how the big the file is until AFTER you've received it. do a little googling though and you may find a client-side solution: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread460516.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62702-file-upload-question/#findComment-312116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpknight Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 There is not a way just to quickly upload the header and get the image size? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/62702-file-upload-question/#findComment-312188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpknight Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Also, I think HTML_Progress2 in the PEAR class might even do some client-side code. I just can't figure out how to get it to do this.
