Re: Upload progress

If you set post_max_size to 0, you can parse the post data yourself from php://input. Combine that with the Content-Length value from apache_request_headers() and you have everything you need for a progress monitor. I don't mean to detract from the hopefully soon-to-come support in the core, just to point out that it's already possible without a patch. I have some code using this method in case anyone's interested, email me off-list. Arpad Unknown W. Brackets wrote:

How is that? You can't get any feedback from PHP (except, now, by installing/writing an extension) about how far along the upload is - no matter how much JavaScript you use. And the browser won't tell you. Some people have scanned the /tmp directory for possible PHP uploads, but this obviously doesn't work even a bit for concurrent users. -[Unknown] -------- Original Message --------

We do a "web 2.0" type upload, and show a spinner. When the file is large or the connection slow, people sometimes abort thinking that there was a problem. I'd like to show a progress bar. Is this
