This is the info available to upload scripts I have not done this, but am inspired to do it now. My design is to develop my own meter by compare $FILES;'size'] to the actual size on disk as the file uploads; I would use some sort of JavaScript / Ajax service connection so that the upload meter is displayed in the current browsing window or an upload popup.
$_FILES['userfile']['name'] $_FILES['userfile']['type'] $_FILES['userfile']['size'] $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] $_FILES['userfile']['error'] -----Original Message----- From: Michael Fischer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 2:50 PM To: php-general Subject: Re: [PHP] determine file-upload's tmp-filename On Mon, 2008-01-28 at 12:17 -0600, Richard Lynch wrote: > > On Sat, January 26, 2008 5:57 pm, Michael Fischer wrote: > > hi there, > > > > is there a way to determine the tmp-filename of a file upload while > > the upload is still in progress? > > > > the tmp-file is stored in /tmp and it's name is something like > > PHPXXXXXXXX. > > > > what i would like to do is: > > i want to upload a file via a html-form and while the upload is in > > progress make repeatedly ajax-requests to a php-script on the server > > that replies the size of the tmp file (the amount of data that was > > already uploaded).
