You're right, it isn't new. I can't find one place where it says it's new, or revolutionary. It simply provides a script for people to use. Stop trying to find faults in it simply because it uses AJAX methods.It will work with the majority of setups. Not a specific mod.Rails is a framework. Not everyone wants to use a framework. Anyway, this is for PHP, not Ruby. So what's your point? It's still a useful script.This is a good example of where AJAX is used correctly. It provides extra functionality without bloat.
Hi Skettalee: As far as my research has showed there is no *pure* php solution that works on shared hosting enviornment. The problem is that you don't get access to the raw post data before it completly reached the server. Now there is a hack for php 4.3.10 that allows you to do so, but you have to compile your own php-binary for this, and you need your own server to run it. So I figured using perl was the easiest work around, even so I know that it could be nicer : /.So your options are either looking for another host, or just go with an animated *plz-be-patient* graphic.
I checked this the first time around, and it uses a extremely messy perl-script for handling the gory details. To even use this requires three technologies, (ajax/js, php, perl) and thats atleast one to many.As theundefined mention there is no way to solve this with a normal php binary. I understand that, but then again, why not use a java/flash applet for instance instead... if you need this feature so badly.
these days there is tendency of publishing every kind of stuff with lots of adsense next to it:)popularity of ajax increases revenue of adsense leechers:)
w2box is wicked. I added heaps of stuff myself so that I could use it in a more business than personal way. Public can upload, private can access and download files. Also sends a notification email.

Actually, do not need ajax here. Why everyone stick to AJAX? Fashion? I think so. You can easily display progress bar without reloading progress bar window without AJAX. We've done that without any problems and it works perfectly on any browser.

I like AJAX, just same kind of idea, meaing AJAX upload stuff must been submitted 99 times. try search 'upload AJAX' to see what you get. These are related frontpage articles,<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/programming/File-Upload_Script_With_Embedded_AJAX_Progress_Bar">http://digg.com/programming/File-Upload_Script_With_Embedded_AJAX_Progress_Bar</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/programming/PHP_AJAX:_Upload_Progress_Meter_(for_file_uploads_in_forms)">http://digg.com/programming/PHP_AJAX:_Upload_Progress_Meter_(for_file_uploads_in_forms)</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/programming/Use_Ajax_To_Upload_Files">http://digg.com/programming/Use_Ajax_To_Upload_Files</a><a class="user" href="http://digg.com/programming/AJAX_File-Upload_Progress_Script_w_Easy_Install">http://digg.com/programming/AJAX_File-Upload_Progress_Script_w_Easy_Install</a>For this reason alone, no digg.
