Upload Progress

[Dysan]

Hi,

 

The following code uploads files to the server. How do I output to the user the progress of the upload, so the user is aware of how long the process is going to take?

 

<?php
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "audio/mp3")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "audio/x-mpeg"))
{
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
    {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
    }
    else
    {
      $file = ($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]; 
    }
  }
}
else
{
  echo "Invalid file";
  echo $_FILES["file"]["type"];
}
?>

There is no simple solution to this question. You might want to google for ajax php upload progress or something similar.

PHP can't get the data needed to do that (namely RAW_POST_DATA), so your need add some peal into the mix
