Hi Kenny, here is an example of what I mean. Search for "myField" in the two PHP files (upload, index) and in the actionscript code, and it should make more sense. Best, Don

Don,

When you say add a textfield, do you mean to the flash file? I tried adding a html field and it just woudlnt work with POST nor GET. An example would be appreciated.

(can you see my email address?)

Thanks

Hi Ken, You should be able to just add a textfield and then pass the field value to the GET string the same way the other variables are being passed. If you like, I can point you to an example.

Don,

I have a similar request to Kelly back in ’08. Your upload script is working great for large files. Now, I just need to add in two text fields to the index page. I attempted to do this using a form and input boxes, but i cannot get $_POST to work in upload.php. It works great if I comment out the POSTs though. Is there any way I can get some assistance adding TITLE and DESCRIPTION fields to index.php that will POST to upload.php?

I see that adding my own HTML form will just not work.

Thanks, and hopefully you still monitor comments on this old post.

Hi Don,

I cannot find the step by step instructions in the download and cannot acces them on the link you refered above.

Could you email please (I cannot acces megaupload also)

The uploader looks great, but I realy don’t know how to use it.

Thanks in advance,

JMarie

You’ll probably need to adjust the MAXs and TIMEs if you want to increase upload sizes:

max_execution_time (in seconds)
max_input_time (in seconds)
memory_limit (in mb)
post_max_size (in mb)
upload_max_filesize (in mb)

If your server supports uploads larger than 220MB, you should be fine. Check with the configuration settings. If you run into issues, I’d be happy to look into it for you, when I get a moment.

I”m not worried about sending money–I’m just going to do it. I have the uploader working 100% for 2 to 4 MB files right now, so now it’s time to upload a 220MB+ video file and see if it works. If not, can I email you? My email is my first name at my website.

Hi Jamon, Thank you for the kind words. Don’t worry about sending money — the uploader is free to use. I’m glad you’ve found it helpful.

Hi Don,

LOVE the uploader. I’ve been battling poor AJAX upload scripts for years. I have a client that requires 500 MB+ uploads (and it has to be browser-based) and I’m going to try your flash file on it. If it works, I’m going to send you some money. So far (with smaller uploads) it’s worked great.
