Bug #18117 Updated: Retreive Content-Length of files being posted.

ID: 18117 Updated by: phpfeature@panman.nl.nospam Reported By: phpfeature@panman.nl.nospam -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: So, to make clear: this script should being executed while the upload is in progress. (uploading large files can take several minutes). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 14:29:48] phpfeature@panman.nl.nospam Yes, i know, it's uploaded when the target script starts. But while it's being uploaded I would like to call another script that shows the progress of the upload. This script should get the Content-Length of the files being uploaded from somewhere. PHP does handle the file before the script starts. I think this only asks for a quite small addition to rfc1867.c in the PHP source. Unfortunataly, i don't know enough about C to do it myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 14:25:54] sniper@php.net Not possible. The file is already uploaded by the time the script starts.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 14:15:34] phpfeature@panman.nl.nospam What i really would like to see, in some next version, is this: some way to retrieve the (temporary) filenames and, more important, the expected Content-Length (if any is given, offcource), of files being uploaded. This would be verry usefull with file uploads: One could create a (self reloading) popup with the progress of the files beeing uploaded. (the content length could be compared to the file in the temp directory). I think easiest way to pass this variables would be a session, or a temp file that could be parsed in the temp dir, that is beinig deleted with the other uploaded files, if the target script finishes. For now I can show the size of all the files being uploaded, but since i don't know the expected size, there is no way of telling the progress to the user. I 'masked' my email adress since i got a lot of spam on the email adress i used on this site before. Thanx in advance!
