I confess that my code is not very good with compatibility, and in general, it is not very well written overall. You might notice that I actually made this script years ago, so I am trying to phase it out and replace it with something new at some point. I am going to close the comments here because I think that I have answered just about every possible question as it pertains to my code specifically. Just search the page for your errors, and see what I have written. Make sure you cgi environment works before banging your head against my utility. We all have mishaps from time to time that we have to hash out. Sometimes it's a lonely world out there. Good luck. On a brighter note, I am absolutely AMAZED to see how many people are interested in this. According to my stats, over 3000 people have downloaded the code. Apparently, their is a big need for a real Xajax plugin that can both support native php upload functions (available as of 5.16) or perhaps the uber solution as well. TheYOSH is right that cgi is yucky, but at the time I wrote this, there weren't many options. Look it up, you will find that before php 5.1.6 there is no native way to get file stats during upload. Perhaps that is why so many people are settling for my pathetic, mediocre solution. It does work, but it's not a lot of fun to implement. Thank you all for contributing. Jeremy Spencer Pan & others.

Xajax is a PHP framework. And why the hell use a cgi script for uploading. PHP can do the same..... To bad. I liked the idea of a Xajax fileupload plugin. But now.... sorry mate.. no go for me. Can't use cgi. Hi,

I have got it working successfully on my local server but when I move it to an external server I get the following error in the CGI iframe: "Method Not Allowed" in bold under that says "The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /1/upload.cgi." Now I have no idea what this means. It is likely a server issue but after posting with my host they tell my the CGI file can be anywhere. The hosting is Linux/Apache. If you could give me a hint as to where to look or what this mean I would much appreciate it. Regards Jarrod Hi Jeremy,

I guess this is a server issue, but do you know if this is easy to rectify. I do not have access to the server config (obviously) Thanks Jarrod Hi Jeremy,

I embed the script in my site, then test it with firefox3.0b5 in ubuntu8.04. It runs fine I can upload files but my WYSIWYG editor in same page doesn't work any more. Seems the editor can't get focus. And I try same page under windowsXP with IE6. The editor works but the uploader alway popup a new window. The file uploaded but the fileAction() function seems never run. But when I test the sample page,it's no problem with both platform. I'm not good at ajax. I think maybe there is conflict between the script and my editor since they all have iframe? My english is not good. I embed the script in my site, then test it with firefox3.0b5 in ubuntu8.04.

After I am able to use cgi scripts the following error occurs: "Encountered error: Session was not defined." It seems that the CGI installation of my webserver can not access the Server Vars. If have no idea anymore what to do. It would be nice if anyone has a advice for me. Thanks. Alexander Hello Hello,

i am trying to use the upload script for serveral hours but I have no success till now.

After I am able to use cgi scripts the following error occurs:

“Encountered error: Session was not defined.”

It seems that the CGI installation of my webserver can not access the Server Vars.

If have no idea anymore what to do.

It would be nice if anyone has a advice for me.

Thanks.

Alexander

I'm using a windows 2000 system with the lateste apache, php, perl, xajax ... I'm using your sample page to upload files. Everything works fine until the file(s) have been uploaded to the upload directory. However, there is no progress on the progress bar, no download completed and not fileAction executed. Is there anything I'm missing? It seems that none of the functions in the upload_xajax_inc.php are executed (getSID and uploadHandler). In your sample page this file has been include with require('./upload_xajax_inc.php'); It resides in the same directory as the sample page. I would appreciate every hint. Have a nice day, Klaus P.S. Many of the comments found on this page where of great help. Thanks to everyone who contributed Hi Jeremy,

In your sample page this file has been include with require(’./upload_xajax_inc.php’); It resides in the same directory as the sample page.

I would appreciate every hint.
