hi guys

iam working on script that upload image using Ajax but i have some problem with it.

first when i send the image file from the ajax to the php page the file dose not send with correct data. this is the print of array requist file

PHP Code:

Array ( [myfile] => Array ( [name] => image001.jpg [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 3 [size] => 0 ) ) 

why the eror is 3 and the size is zero

if you want i can send you the script.

thanx guys.

AJAX doesn't support file uploads. Can you post your code?

As for the error number 3, it means:

Value: 3; The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.

Edit: Too slow on the post button...

This is the meaning of the error -

UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL
Value: 3; The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.

As to why it fails, you would need to post your code.

Are you sure? I could be wrong, but doesnt cPanel use ajax? on that you are able to upload files in the browser without refreshing in cPanel 11 on the file upload part

It's probably something tricky with iFrames. I'm very sure AJAX doesn't support file uploads.

Perhaps the progress bar involves AJAX or something.

Ah i see. thats way too over my head lol
Just found this also searching for "does ajax support file upload" on google

"Certainly, it is not possible, as the XMLHTTPRequest object that is used internally to post the form does not support file upload"

I've checked mahmoud82's code, and I would not suggest using it. IF it worked, then only on IE (because it requires ActiveX), and besides that, I don't see how this would work at all. It sends headers to the PHP script, but not the actual file.

There are better scripts out there. Try Googling for another one. (If you search for "AJAX Upload", you'll find scripts, even though none of them actually uploads using AJAX)

I'll echo what Nico has stated. Uploads using a HTML form without refreshing the page are done with a hidden iframe. Search for Ajax file upload scripts to find many examples.

Another way of doing this so that the page does not reload is to use flash - http://www.swfupload.org/
