A simple way to implement upload status for an administration panel. Based on AJAX and my JavaScript LoadVars class, this method doesn’t need anything else to show uploading status on a simple form based html page.

To intall uploadprogress module, from the command line

# pecl install uploadprogress

1) configure php.ini and add

extension=uploadprogress.so

2) restart apache for the changes to take effect.

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
If that does not work due to you having noexec on /tmp, as you should, you can then compile it from source.

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/uploadprogress-1.0.3.1.tgz
tar -zxvf uploadprogress-1.0.3.1.tgz
cd uploadprogress-1.0.3.1
phpize
./configure
make
make install

Edit php.ini file and add

extension = “uploadprogress.so”

Below the line
extension_dir = “/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626″

service httpd restart
