RE: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP

How does perl show progress of the upload if it is a server side scripting language and php can't do it because it is server side? -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:mlemos@acm.org] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 12:46 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: progress in PHP Hello, On 12/23/2003 03:31 PM, James Kaufman wrote: >>>Join the 11,000 people who use megaupload progress bar (with a little >>>help from perl) >>>http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/megaupload/ >> >> I tried.

File uploading is a client side task. Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no way to handle streams of HTTP requests. Therefore, there is no way to handle upload progress with a PHP only solution. The Raditha megaupload solution is based on a combination of Perl with PHP. It is probably the solution that uses more PHP but the hard work is done using Perl. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
