How to get upload progress using $_FILES? [duplicate]

Question

HTML:

                        <input type="file" value="choose file" name="file[]" multiple="multiple"/><br/>
                        <input type="submit" class="submit" value="confirm" />
                        <input type="hidden" name="uploadFiles" />

</form>

PHP:

if (isset($_POST['uploadFiles'])) {
  $fileCount = count($_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  for ($i = 0 ; $i < $fileCount ; $i++ ) {
      checking......
       move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$i],$fileName);
  }
}

Currently I am using the above way to upload the files, I found that the Jquery UI provide the progress bar function but I have to provide the upload status to it. Therefore, what approach I can choose to get the status?

Answer 1

My recommendation is to download an already built ajax files upload script and study it a bit as they are quite complex to paste as a reply.

I just had a look at my scripts and it seems that the progress it's actually on the JS side, not in the php.

If you have upgraded to php 5.4 you can use
