Upload Progress Bar - Has anyone tried this? new!
by Jeff, 16 years, 8 months ago
First of all, I love this php upload class - zero complaints as far as how it was built and how robust it is - Great Job on the coding of it...

I have a small page setup to upload 8 pictures at a time and when the image sizes are 2.x mb and larger each often the page will timeout and the redirect page doesn't work properly as a result.

I have been searching around for a way to integrate some sort of graphical Upload Progress bar into the script so that the end user can see the upload status as each picture is being transferred vs. no feedback. Has anyone successfully done this? If so, I would love to hear how you did it...Reply

The class will work fine with any upload meter system, since the class enters in action only after the files have been uploaded.

If you are using PHP 5.2+, there is a PECL extension which tracks uploads, and allows you to write an upload meter.

If you don't mind recompiling PHP, there are some patches available for earlier versions of PHP. Here is the original post by Doru Petrescu.Reply
