I cannot tell you people how hard and long i have looked for a file upload script with a progress bar that is SIMPLE to use and you dont have to go through the hassle of editing the files so much that it probaly would be easier coding one your self!

All i need is a file upload script that can upload big and small files in an html form with a WORKING progressbar.

I only have about $35.00(USD) in my paypal, but ill pay some one to help me find a script(a really good one) or build one cheap(if willing), because i have been to every "Ask", "Google", "Alexa", and "Live" search result on earth.

P.S. it has to be PHP

P.S.S. like this site has: http://www.fpsbanana.com/responders/ajaxupload

You must not have searched that much...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=php%20file%20upload%20progress%20bar+&btnG=Goo gle+Search

Those are the 3 first result I had:

P.S. it has to be PHP

That's simply impossible using PHP alone.
Short explaination: On upload, PHP don't know what size the file will be, so, it cannot gives you a progress bar...
Solution: Use PERL for the upload, which can access the file total size before finishing uploading, and interface PERL with PHP for the progress bar display.

Yeah, thats not what i wanted, i have seen Ajax up loaders and they don't use Perl or cgi but i cannot find them, then theres flash up loaders and they done have cgi or Perl either, but they don't do forms, at least i don't think.

I don't like cgi for a couple of reasons:

1. It can be complicated most times when using MySQL and other scripts

2. You have to keep the files in the cgi-bin directory unless you redirect the settings or whatever with .htaccess

3. Every time cgi is executed, it starts a new process that takes up folder space in the temp dir, and can gradully decrease server speed.

Ok, well you obviously did not read the post, NO CGI or Perl, ROR is another type of perl. even PY would be fine, but i dont know any PY

Dude, you simply cannot do that ALONE !

Ajax is juat a way to send a request to a server.
As php CANNOT do this, you have to use perl or python with cgi to handle the upload, and use php to report the advance.

I don't see where I mentioned CGI, Perl, Ruby, PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, Python, Java, ASP.NET or any other version of any server side code YOU HAVE TO USE TO UPLOAD FILES.

It's merely a bunch of searches and then it's your choice after that.

Maybe you should learn how searches work.

I know that it is possible to do it alone with flash. I have
seen it and i have an example i cannot find. so how can you do that with a form?

let's go through the things that cannot be done and see what's left.

You cannot upload a file from a browser without using some server side code to receive and save the file.

Server side code cannot interact with the browser to update a progress bar.

So whatever client side script you are going to use for the progress bar has to have some server side method of receiving the file.

The other option is to use a browser based FTP client such as RAD Upload This particular one is Java based (not javascript ) so does need the Java Runtime Environment installed.

Ok, let me ask you a question. What type system does megaupload.com use? Like is it CGI Perl Python

Looks to be a Java FTP client for the toolbar

and the server side stuff, probably PHP (site runs on Apache)

no, i mean, what do they use for there uploading system on there front page

Under where it says

Select file to send (maximum 500 MB)

??

If yes, PHP does the upload and the "progress bar" is faked using javascript and Flash.

View the page source and read the javascript.

ok. 1. how do you fake a progressbar? and 2. i dont think that it is faked, try uploading a file bigger that 10.00MB and look and you will see that it is counting the time left and the amount of MB already uploaded.

so how?
