Output



Ok, so we can upload via a backend request, but how do we check the status?

More backend requests of course!

Server-side Piece
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
  
$status apc_fetch('upload_'.$_POST['APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS']);
  
$status['msg'] = 'blah';
  echo 
json_encode($status);
  exit;
} else if(isset(
$_GET['progress_key'])) {
  
$status apc_fetch('upload_'.$_GET['progress_key']);
  echo 
json_encode($status);
}
?>
Client-side
<script>
var fP = function callBack(o) {
 var resp = eval('(' + o.responseText + ')');
 if(!resp['done']) { 
  if(resp['total']) {
   var pct = parseInt(100*(resp['current']/resp['total']));
   document.getElementById('pbar').style.width = ''+pct+'%';
   document.getElementById('ppct').innerHTML = " "+pct+"%";
   document.getElementById('ptxt').innerHTML = resp['current']+" of "+resp['total']+" bytes";
  }
  setTimeout("update_progress()",500);
 } else if(resp['cancel_upload']) {
  txt="Cancelled after "+resp['current']+" bytes!"; 
  document.getElementById('ptxt').innerHTML = txt;
  setTimeout("progress_win.hide();window.location.reload(true);",2000);
 }
}

var pcallback = { success:fP }

function update_progress() {
 progress_key = document.getElementById('progress_key').value;
 YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET','up.php?progress_key='+progress_key, pcallback);
}

var progress_win;

function postForm(target,formName) {
 YAHOO.util.Connect.setForm(formName,true);
 YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('POST',target,callback);
 progress_win = new YAHOO.widget.Panel(...);
 update_progress();
}
</script>
 <div id="progress_win"> 
    <div class="hd"></div> 
    <div class="bd"></div> 
    <div class="ft"></div> 
 </div>
