Hello everyone,

May be you would be interested to look at another flash upload utility:
http://www.easyalgo.com/eaflashupload.aspx. It has three different user interfaces and many advanced features such as: send variables as form fields values, retrive browser cookie, assign description for each file, JavaScript API, compatibility with Flash Player 10 security restrictions.

Having the same problem with the fileReference class. Works great with PC, but nothing happens on the mac. The upload.php script returns HTTP ERROR 404. Getting sick and tired on these mac issues. I have tried editing the .htaccess file but that results in a internal server error (500). What can be done? Hoping for an answer…

I am having big problems with the FileReference class. My script doesn’t work at all with mac. It seems like everyone else has problems with the onComplete-handler but at least the files get uploaded to the server. Has anyone experienced the same problem as me? On a PC the files get uploaded ok, but on Mac absolutely nothing happens.

One big dissapointment for me was that flash wont send the mime type to the server side script.
This is making open upload forms less secure as you cant check the mime type on the server like with xhtml forms.

Hi Mark,

Could you try this:
* Are you sure there is nothing else that is being sent to the browser before you send the header?
* Do an empty echo – rather than error=0

Hello,

I am still having a similar problem to this and nothing I try seems to allow the onComplete to fire (in any browser, Safari, Firefox, or Opera).

I’ve now got my PHP looking like this:

header(‘HTTP/1.1 200 OK’);
header(‘Status: 200 OK’);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], ‘./files/’.$_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
chmod($_GET['path'].$_FILES['Filedata']['name'], 0777);
echo (“&error=0″);
flush();

I’ve checked my paths and permissions and the files are getting uploaded, it’s just the onComplete that never ever fires.

Take a look at nice free Flash Upload software tool http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx

It also includes a lot of working examples of server-side upload scripts like PHP, ASP, PERL, ASP.NET.
