Martin, Lots of things happening here.
$_SERVER variable is ONLY AVAILABLE for RevServer which is exactly what you are using. $_POST_RAW just means you are accessing the stuff in the standard input in its original form, you need this when you must recreate data on the correct order since $_POST will not preserver order or when you need to do MIME Decoding which is the case of file uploads. Now on the topic of file upload progress, the quick answer is no. You can't provide your page with a file upload progress bar if you are using an simple HTML Form for the file upload. If you built your web page and use something along the lines of: <input type="file" ... /> Then you can't check for progress. The web is stateless. When your client is uploading data, your server can't modify what your client is seeing. That is not how it works. You will say that gmail and other guys show you a progress bar. How they do it? They cheat. Most of these guys are using a hidden adobe flash component to do the upload and inform back the progress or even worse, all the upload interface thing is a flash blob. This approach involves using two additional technologies: Flash and JavaScript to bind everything together. Non trivial to implement. Other approach is to go javascript crazy and use httprequest or websockets to connect and somehow pipe the data but I think that a javascript only approach is hard because there is no file reading routine in javascript. You could use a hidden iframe with a form and then submit the form, while the content is read by your server you could write the progress somewhere and then on the non hidden page you use javascript to pool for this progress thus updating the screen. This is a javascript only solution but I don't think it is worth pursuing and like all javascript solutions you will spend an eternity debugging it for all browsers. andre _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
