Re: [PHP] checking local file size
I tried installing it like the documentation said... but I got the following errors. I contacted the hosting service (dreamhost) and they said they don't provide support for pecl, though they do support perl. Anyone? -- $ pecl install uploadprogress Failed to download pecl/uploadprogress within preferred state stable, latest release is version 0.9.1, stability beta, use channel://pecl.php.net/uploadprogress-0.9.1 to install Cannot initialize 'uploadprogress', invalid or missing package file Package uploadprogress is not valid install failed $ pecl install uploadprogress-beta Cannot install, php_dir for channel pecl.php.net is not writeable by the current user .com/ Um, sudo? Or be root when you install as the PEAR/PECL structure is usually owned by root. Just tried that - I don't have the permissions to sudo :( -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] checking local file size
Well you need to know the TMP file name that has been in progress of upload, it is usually at /tmp folder also you need to know the actual size of file uploading, there is an extension for PHP that will give you this info but you need to compile it , on my cars site for uploading images I am using this one http://blog.liip.ch/archive/2006/09/28/upload-progress-meter- extension-for-php-5-2.html On Dec 16, 2008, at 9:20 PM, John P wrote: I know this isn't a php question (though I'm using PHP for the server side... does that count?). I'm hoping though that some of you guys are just as experienced in ajax as you are PHP, because I can't find any good ajax forums. you can respond to me personally if needed, to keep it off the php list my question: I know there are alot of ajax/php upload progress bars out there, but they're either complicated, unreliable, or just generally don't fit my needs. Thus, i'm making my own. One problem I'm running into though, is how to check the local file size as compared to the uploaded file size. I can check and display the total uploaded size (ie, 437kb uploaded so far...), but to get the percent, I have to know the total size - BEFORE it's fully uploaded. I would like to say 437kb of 932kb uploaded so far... but how do I get the 932 from the local file? It doesn't do too much good to say how much has been uploaded if they don't know how much is left... I know it's possible (most other meters do this) - I just can't figure out how. any hints?
