The trial is identical to the full version with the following exceptions:
* after accepting an upload, it saves the file as an empty document (size 0 bytes) and automatically adds a serial number to the end of the filename.
This script is NOT free as the article suggests. - bitwiseplatypus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The demo lets you list and download any of the files that have been uploaded. Genius. Especially since people are apparently uploading random files (including documents) to test the script, not realizing they'll be publicly viewable.
- Endpoint, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Shame it's not written in PHP :(
- 6dust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dude, seriously? If you don't like them, don't read them. You're the one that controls where your mouse clicks.
- senzafine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2file upload progress isn't possible as a straight php solution. php doesn't let you get the size of the data being uploaded so you can't track progress. megaupload implements this in perl and abstracts it for php....http://www.raditha.com/php/progress.php which can be ajaxed rather easily.
- thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...though I do love the animated progress-bar image on the Rails one.
- jeremy2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 I've written/modified one for PHP - though it still uses a PERL script as PHP does not allow real time processing of the current upload of the files. I got frustrated with a few other other free upload scripts I had found, totally rewrote the Javascript and heavily modified the PERL and PHP files. You can take a look at it at: http://www.seemysites.net/projFolder/uploader
- dr_benway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ditto the desire for a PHP version.
does not report progress in Safari. - mohrt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A version in PHP:
http://www.devpro.it/upload_progress/ - Kam3k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Nice demo of the Rails implementation of this which you can try out here http://sean.treadway.info/demo/upload
- jaimecartero, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1This is not a FREE script as they want you to think it is.
- cryptoknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.devpro.it/upload_progress/ works great I use it for most of my Ajax applications. You can see a demo of it here https://files.secureirc.org/
- cryptoknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://pdoru.from.ro/ this also works quite well and provides more functionality than the php classes.
- thundercleese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hit the stop button part way through the upload. The upload stopped, but the time function is still running.
- .Steven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's not hard to convert it. :)
- thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I hit the stop button part way through the upload. The upload stopped, but the time function is still running."
That's the first "A" in "AJAX": Asynchronous. It's making the get-file-status calls behind the scenes, as opposed to in-step with normal page loading/stopping. So when you hit stop, it stops the upload, but the AJAX code keeps running until you close the page, go to a different page, reload the page, etc. - Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's an awesome script.
- thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Easy install, yeah right. I'm a pretty seasoned php guy and this is hardly simply to pop into an exisiting web-app."
If you are even slightly "seasoned", then you can't possibly deny that copying one single file to your server and creating/chmodding a few directories is an easy install. And as simple as creating directories should be for a "seasoned" programmer, there are even step-by-step instructions explaining how to do it. - garg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is very neat! I need to become proficient at AJAX programming.
- thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ah, that makes sense then. Consider it retracted!
- 6dust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Protoss, I think you missed the point. This upload app uses AJAX to actually give the user the progress of the file, as it is uploaded.
Absolutely great app. And awesome developers! Worked through my problem by e-mail (I had an old version of the CGI Perl module). Nice because PHP is unused in my workplace, so its great to have a solution that is not tied to anything other than the cgi-bin. - .Steven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very good! :)
- 6dust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And yet you care enough to come post your comments. Thanks! That's very thoughtful of you.
- autodata, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1spam
- smallchaz, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0No PHP version yet?
- intekhab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1NOT free :(
first you spread it as free to get free promotion and then turn it to paid!.. bad bad bad!! - donda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1duh
- Aliaqua, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Nice Script
http://www.aliaqua.com - stengod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0upload yuor file to my love file hosting http://ownfile.com
- thaimouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I have no problems using a ftp program, but, this has made the task of sending numerous files to me a breeze, for my customers. Word has spread and as a result I now have many new customers. Great stuff!!
- mogwhy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Anybody know of any ASP / ASP.NET implementations?
- markricard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Is there something like this that compresses the file on the client before sending it on to the server to save time and to help out clients with slow connections? I'm thinking it must be flash or an applet to enable client side compression. I think EBay does something like this in their gallery area since my mother with her 48k connection can upload huge files in a very short period of time.
- mydave, on 07/28/2008, -1/+0hm Ajax have new articles and I'm interested in, but information so much and my time so little. ))

www.toyotaemployeepricing.com - thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I had seen the Rails implementation, but most servers don't have Rails (at least not by default) (yet), and even if they do, it apparently needs to be patched for that Rails uploader to work. This Perl one should work right out of the box on most servers.
- kolakutusu, on 07/14/2008, -1/+0My first comment after digging for a year, and its HOLY *****!
It is for most of my Ajax applications.
Thanks,

http://www.thephonedetective.com - thoughts, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Just a quick update: there is a new version of the upload script, and it now supports multi-file uploads. Get it here:
http://encodable.com/tech/ajaxupload/ - BoxingNut83, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Is this a web page snippet/tutorial site now? I thought Digg was much more... can we not have a day where there are no AJAX-related links?
- sibsoft, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Try this one. XUpload is the best!
