RE: [PHP] Re: progress bar for uploading files
I ... Had to do something like that recently .. Sending files through ftp_put(); i just send the file .. And when user clicks 'Send' button ... A pop-up appears and gets the file size of the remote file and comparing with de local size you can build a progress bar This pop-up uses the tag that Peter said HTTP-REFRESH so you can see how the file size increases every n seconds ... It worked for me .. I hope this can help !! => Daniel This wouldn't work for uploading files however since the long part of the process is the act of uploading the file and until that completes your "save.php" (or whatever) isn't called. So in regards to file uploading it has to be done with Javascript. What you do below is great for scripts that just take a long time though. -philip On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, Peter J.

RE: [PHP] Re: progress bar for uploading files
I had a rather weird thought, but it is Friday after all :^] How about setting a small IFRAME in the upload diaog box? Then you could do a couple of things; a.) Place a small animated GIF in the IFRAME that moves left to right or from side to side until the upload completes. 2.) Use the GD library and do something similar in the IFRAME. Now, there are some issues such as calcing the time it takes to upload or measuring the amount of the file upload and updating the IFRAME image accordingly, and maybe some other little details that I am not thinking about, but it just a weird little thought. I'd love to see some solutions based on this though, and maybe when I get a little time next week I'll give it a go. HTH!
