PHP and Progress Bars

[mhoctober]

All,

I have scoured what feels like the whole world looking for answers to this one...

"I need a progress bar that indicates progress with multiple image file uploads".

I am aware of the perl one that is referred to in this forumn - but I dont know that I have the skill to implement it and the sample one seems deficient.

Has anyone found a workaround to what seems like a limitation of PHP?

I'm even prepared to write an .asp page if thats what it takes!

Many thanks

If you have access to root on the server you're using, you can recompile PHP (version 5 from what I saw) with a patch that allows you to monitor the upload status of a file. The link with the patch and information is: [modphp.com...]

Otherwise, you've got to use another language.

Are you talking about a PHP Loading page [webmasterworld.com]?
