uploading a file to a server.

[Marty Amberg]

Hi all,

Quick question.
I been trying to get a file to upload to a server via a form ( works
great in straight html calling a php program ) using a prototype ajax
request. I don't think it can be done and I have tried various
ways. If I am wrong and could some one point me in the right directions.

Thanks

Thanks Miguel.

 I did lot of searches but the  answers saying no always seem to have some other answers claiming there was a way.  Nothing I tried worked henceforth the question.   I  am happy to do it in straight php.

Totally do-able using the HTML 5 Javascript File API (won't work in IE though)

you can use the file object in the postBody option and that will upload the file to your php script through the php://input stream - use $_GET parameters for the rest of the information you want to post

to solve the IE problem chromeframe is a good solution as well

I can post an example if you need

Will give it a shot.  A example would be great,

Here is a simple Sample of Ajax upload using the HTML5 File API

frontend javascript

=================

$("fileupload").observe("change",handleupload);

function handleupload( e )

{

var el = e.findElement();

new Ajax.Request("backend.php?uploadfile=1",{"method":"post","postBody":el.files[0],"onSuccess":returnupload});

}

backend.php

=====================

if(isset($_GET['uploadfile']))

{

$uploaded_file = file_get_contents("php://input");

file_put_contents("/tmp/myfilename",$uploaded_file);

} 

=====================

You can also add other events to the Ajax call to see upload progress as well, but again will not work with IE - works in Firefox/Chrome/Safari though
