Hi Joshua,

great job, it has worked for me first run.

Now the issue:
I need to reload the main page when upload ends: how should I accomplish that?

thank you

jsalinas:

sounds like the the js code isn’t being delivered properly and is throwing errors. Try viewing the js includes manually.

Rob c:
That sounds like a pretty reasonable thing to do but the current demo leaves what to do with the files after upload up to you.

Hello Joshua,

I was just wondering if you’ve given consideration to providing a view of the image after it is 100% uploaded, or did the demo above not work properly, and it should have shown a small image of the file that has been uploaded?

Hello Joshua, I am have a problem with the HTML_AJAX 0.5.5 package. I have installed HTML_AJAX through the PEAR package manager, and completely tested it as well. I checked the include_path in the php.ini– all ok. I also run the HTML_TEMPLATE package on it already without a problem.

Yet, for some reason, when I used the example code from –”http://wiki.bluga.net/HTML_AJAX/start?#”, I get 2 errors on the javascript: “HTML_AJAX.replace is not defined” , and a syntax error on the “”, however I removed the DOCTYPE tag from all file. Yet, It’s still indicating a problem. I copied the files exactly from the example code, creating 3 file: the server.php, the page.html and output.php
Basic Setup:
Apache 2.0.53
HTML_AJAX 0.5.5
php5.2.5
PEAR 1.7.2

I would really “appreciate” any help you can give me.

Avis: it uploaded just fine: see http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

You need to replace the var_dump with a move_uploaded files call to put the file where you want it

For those finding the meter jumps from 0 t0 100% it may be the following issue which I had:

The hidden form field named APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS needs to go before the file input field otherwise it is not received by the server until the file has been uploaded. Obvious in hindsight I guess but kept me busy for a while.

I found that after a download or two, my meter quit working. I think there is a race condition, where UploadProgressMeter could be decremented twice when a download finished, once in window.uploadComplete() and once in UploadProgressMeter_Update(). UploadProgressMeter_count would become negative, and subsequent upload attempts would have no meter. I changed both subtractions to the following. YMMV.

if (UploadProgressMeter_count > 0) {
UploadProgressMeter_count–;
}

xbilgix: a normal php file upload is happening, there are comments in the code on where you need to add the file upload code. Checkout http://us2.php.net/move_uploaded_file
