i need dynamic php uploader.
i'd like to do some kind of dynamic progress bar while uploading file (need to know how many bytes of the file was send). is this possible with php ?

maybe there are some scripts (php, javascripts or java) ?

ive seen on astalavista that they use code to estimate the load time of a page, this might work for your upload script.

but as it's most likly theres you may not be abble to use it.

its better to use java for this, since with php you will be refreshing the page everytime

actually i believe i seen a javascript that did this. its at http://javascript.internet.com/page-...load-page.html

This is not a fault of php, but there simply is no such thing. You just can not add a persistent connection to http where one doesn't exist. Webservers open connections to the client (the browser) fulfill the request, and close the connection.

Any connection requires either some sort of trickery like page refresh, or an embedded object like a java applet or activex control.

The bottom line is that the only way to provide anything other than an estimate of status, would require some type of low level hooks into the webserver itself.

as said above, this cant be done with php. possibly a clientside language would be able to do this, but a serverside language will not work since it is serverside, and not on the clientside.

For PHP , i haven't seen one yet ... i don't think is possible as i have been also trying to compile it ...

But for JAva , it will be possible ... but the setback is , it will load very slow ... that why ...
