Hi guys,

I'm writing an uploadscript in PHP. Now when uploading a large file, sometimes it's nice to know how far along you are in your upload.
A technique to know that would be to have an AJAX script check the filesize on the server of the uploading file to compare it to the total filesize in the uploading process.

My problem now is to determine the original filesize of a file on a pc.
I'd probably need a javascript for that but I'm not sure if js has access rights for that on a pc.


Anyone got a solution?


thanks

that's where i would look and have used for file uploads. I have never done the progress indicator though.

Perhaps something like this?

Yup,
that's going to be my end goal. So in orde to achieve that I need to know the original filesize.
Thanks in advance

You can't access the original file through JS. That sort of operation is not permited... flash on the other hand... who knows?
