Using own upload script?

#1 Postby Kris » Jul 04, 2007 3:43 pm

Just wondered if its possible and everything would still work.

The reason I ask, is because the script I currently use, is used to upoad images. On the upload, the image is resized if ts too wide, and converted to jpg.

I can handle the large image bit, but defiantly need to be able to convert the uploaded images.

Also when each image has been uploaded then converted, information is added to a database.

any advice would be great.

Seems like you're looking for the same thing I am:

Are you using PHP?

Yeah have a script already.

Have only been looking for a progress bar really.

Shame I didnt do more testing before I made a purchace.

XUpload seems great, if I knew anything about cgi/perl then this would be the program for me. Just looking for a php solution really.

Seems stupid that in 5.2 they have added the way to retreive file info, but still not a complete solution and patching still needing to be done. Alot of hosting companies will probably not bother doing this, making this feature useless.

If you're into PHP it's easy for you to modify your code a bit, cause you receive filename and path with POST. Don't think this will take too much time.

Also you can try transparent pure-Apache solution: http://search.cpan.org/~ceeshek/Apache2 ... rogress.pm

so does the upload.cgi do anything other then actually upload?

I mean would the progress bar and other things still work if i put my php upload script in there instead?

what would need to be done to get it working?
