[PHP] Upload Tracker.
I'm a little unsure on how to do this but basically when someone uses a form to upload a file I want to have a popup window come up and so the process in percentage of the transfer. Anyone do this before? Is it possible in PHP or do I need to do it in javascript or a mixture of both? Any suggestions, ideas, commands or functions to try to use? I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: [PHP] Upload Tracker.
i use a program called upload progress meter, it can be downloaded here: http://pdoru.from.ro/upload-progress-meter/ I just wrote an ajax function to return the % of the download, and filled a div on each upload. It depends on how often you poll for the %, but most likely it won't be a smooth transition from 0-100% it will jump, 0, 12, 28, 38, 52, 71, 88, 92, 100, or something similar. you will have to phpize the function and install it as a dynamic module, but it works for me. hope this helps.

Upload progress can't be reported using PHP alone, but here's a PHP-perl amalgam you can check out: Mega Upload http://www.raditha.com/php/progress.php I haven't used it can can't vouch for it. When I tried their demo it failed but I think for reasons other than the functionality of the widget itself.

Otherwise, it's a Javascript/Ajax feature, with PHP being relegated to not doing much of anything about the progress meter. Why the BROWSER doesn't provide this feature everybody wants is beyond my ken... Surely the browser has some clue how many bytes are uploaded and how big the file was. How tricky could it be for Firefox/IE to poke those values into a couple variables somewhere? Instead we have a zillion JS hacks by developers generating tons of traffic back-n-forth to the server to ask it how many bytes it has received so far... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
