Very awesome!

Where does one define a specific folder within the default directory that uploaded files are placed?

The destination directory can be any existing directory on your server and is set inside the upload.php file:
$upload = new FileUpload(DESTINATION_DIR);
or you can write:
$upload->set_target_directory(DESTINATION_DIR);

Hi, i am not able to specify a new folder for the uploaded files. At my webhoster i am using this folder: ‘/var/www/html/web256/html/bht’ . The files should be uploaded into ‘/var/www/html/web256/html/bht/uploads’. How can i realize it?

This is really brilliant piece of code! It solves all the problems with uploading files on a shared hosting. Very neat and elegant code, easy to customize and it works! Thank you.

Any reason why the file uploaded to the server would continue to have the .tmp extension? I don’t see any errors in the log files.

Isn’t it possible to upload really large files ( > 100.00 mb)? If yes how could you do this?

I would love to use it but it does not work with over 30 errrors being generated in the BigFileUpload. What version of Flex is required?

Wow, this looks quite handy!
For a nice and easy Web-ftp solution, check my FileManager FX.

You have to compile the component for Flash Player 10 (with Flex SDK 3.x).
FileReference.load is only available since FP 10.
For more information see:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10

Can you use this code to load a video to the client flex app.?

Can you play the video without uploading it to the server?

This is awesome!!! I appreciate if you also post the upload.php code or server side script sample that can verify the checksum and allow resumption of the interrupted upload?

The php code is already available. The files are inside the bin-debug directory of the zip file.
See: http://www.zehnet.de/files/FlexFileUploadComponent/$zip_FlexFileUploadComponent/bin-debug

Cool, thanks Nik! This really helps! What would you reccomend for enabling pause/resumption on big file download? Is there any sample code similar to upload exist for managing the download?

BUG!
Thanks for the awesome component. There is a bug you may not be aware of. When you upload a file smaller than the chunk size the session variable is changed. All other actions (such as file check and split upload) send the correct session var. This casuses an issue with server side authentication of log in.

Thanks again. It got me out of a hole!

@Steve:

If you upload files smaller than the chunk size, the “ordinary” actionscript upload is used via FileReference.upload. This method is buggy as it does not send cookie data with the request. If your session depends on a sessionId set in a cookie, the request won’t be authenticated. And you can not even change this behavior by directly digging into the request headers and adding the cookie data manually.

The manual says:
“The requestHeaders property of the URLRequest object is ignored; custom HTTP request headers are not supported in uploads or downloads.”

The only solution to bypass this problem is to either send your sessionID as GET parameter via urlVariables or to use the custom BigFileUpload class for all of your uploads.

It looks great but I have no idea how it works. I keep getting “No ploadUrl specified” and I can’t figure out how to resolve it.

It looks great but I have no idea how it works. I keep getting “No ploadUrl specified” and I can’t figure out how to resolve it.

You have to pass an uploadUrl via flashvars to the swf object as it otherwise does not know where to upload the files.

Excellent work. can you let us know how to upload more then 100MB files.

Very nice app. I was trying to integrate this with my website. The file upload folder path is dynamic in my project. But I am facing problem the app is uploading files to folder which is initially assigned even after i change folder path using session variable in PHP.

Hello,
I forgot one thing, I need to update my database with all files uploading, where should i include that code ?

Great application. It works with files greater than officialy supported 100MB. However there is a problem with files greater than the amount of RAM available. In such case there should be MemoryError thrown and caught (as I see it in BigFileUpload code). But it crashes Flash Player instead. Why is that? Am I missing something?

How to update my database with all files?

Hi Nik.

I have found a bug? I have set the max upload file size to 600MB. When I upload 3 files on FF with their sizes adding up to just over 600MB the upload fails on the last file with the % progress saying “uploading file…NaN%”. Subsequent file uploads fail – even if the page is refreshed. Closing FF is the only way to get files uploading again. I suspect it isn’t clearing the size uploading between files – but I don’t programme flex, thus cannot fix.(Sorry)

My client is willing to pay for your time to fix – just let me know the estimated cost.

Thanks for the excellent component.

Steve

Found an issue, getting urlVariables parameter not working

in file FileUploaderStandalone.mxml,
line 60
var c:XMLList=data.children(), n:int=c.length;;
need to be changed to
var c:XMLList=data.children(), n:int=c.length();

wow exactly what i was searching for with only one problem
can your code be used in flash (cs3, 4 or 5)?
can u post a little example(as3 call of the class only no need for interface etc) if is possible

Thanks

I am new to flex.I have a requirement that is to upload photos of filesize up to 10MB. I tried using this sample.But got stuck with PHP. It returns error ID ‘0′.

$working_dir = dirname(__FILE__);
define(’UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE’, 80 * 1024 * 1024); //20MB
define(’DESTINATION_DIR’, $working_dir);

What should be the working directory if my i have the project in the following folder.
c:\prasanna\wamp\www\FileUploaderApp.
Help me

Thanks.

Hi,

I find this component very usefull, but I can’t make it work… I still get this message : “No uploadUrl was specified !”

I added this line in the FileUploaderStandalone.html : , but it still doesn’t work !

Please help me.

Thanks

I think it the flashvars that is not set correctly (that is the line I added

Hi,
- I set the -use-network=false in the project
- I run the FileUploaderApp.html

But I always get the error(0); in the flex interface when I try to upload a file.

What am I doing wrong ?

Hi,

I finally found the solution to my problem. That was just a wrong path to the upload files in the upload.php :
$working_dir = dirname(__FILE__);
$working_upload = dirname(__FILE__.’/uploads’);

But I still had some problems loading big video files. I always had an offset set to 0, so the file kept loading the first chunk again and again !
So I checked on the server side, and I found out that I had a checksum negative after the dechex() function.

I added this line :
$checksum = str_replace(’ffffffff’, ”, $checksum);

And now everything works fine for me.

hello,
your code and works very well but I want to ask as I open the file I uploaded the file and also if you only have an option to save with the name there is any option to save with a code or key.
Thank you.

Hi,
Great component. We require the same for our project, but the project is on flex and java. Can you please let us know how to join the chunks together to the original file using a servlet/JSP.

Thank You

Great application! I test a dozen or more apps to avoid php max post limitation and this is the only worked for me. I’m using this app in an academic site where teachers upload files to students. What I need is a way to trigger an event when all files uploaded succesfully because I list the files uploaded in the same page of the app. There is a simple javascript interface to this app? Thanks and sorry for my poor english.
Javier

Me again. Upload in chunks is not working. My site is in 000webhosting and they limit upload to 2MB, so I set maxPostSize to 524288 (512KB), 1048576 (1M) and 2097152 (2M) but still don’t work (a tmp file is created and app freezes when filesize is exactly 2M).

Hi, Awesome componenet. But I am a java devloper and want to use this component with checksum functionality… plaese can anyone help me!!!

Will this component work with Python and Apache CGIs? This test file on the server (upload.py):
print ‘Content-type: text/xml\n\n’
print ‘no request\n’

showed Error(0): in the component. Any suggestion?

The “no request” text above was in an “error” tag with an “id” attribute of 400.

Cann’t get it working. Stuck with an Error(0).
I am testing it against my goDaddy account.
2 of the php scripts are in my webroot and I’ve modified the destination directory to be under “uploads” folder.
I’ve also set “overwriteIfExists” defaults to be true .

Hi everyone,
What if I want it to upload the files to an existing FTP? Where would I edit so that I can use the “ftp://user:password@ftpserver/url-path” format?

Hi Nicolas,
nice code base. I just ported it to Flex4 for a project I’m on and it’s been so easy.

Thank you for sharing!

Could you share this ported version ?

Hi,
I have a problem with this script.
I compile it with FLEX SDK 4.1.
Script starts normaly but when i try to upload file (uploadUrl : ‘http://192.168.0.2/js/bin-debug/upload.php’, for example) the script returns me 0 end message at the bottom of file name “Error (0):”
Please help me

Thank You

Hi Hristo Mitev, this is probably because the register_globals are off on your php server. Try to insert this four lines to your upload.php before the
include($working_dir . ‘/class.FileUpload.php’); row. It would make the script compatible with your server settings.

if (!isset($_GET['fileChecksum']))
$_GET['fileChecksum'] = -1;

if (!isset($_FILES['Filedata']))
$_FILES['Filedata'] = 0;

b.regards
Gyuri

Hi! this script is perfect!

Thanks for help me!

Thank you.

Hello
Thanks to make this application. Now i need some help.
I want to upload 1 GB file using this application. Can any one say me that where i have to do changes and how can get solution?

Thanks again. Please reply me ASAP

Hello,
Since Adobe has released Version 11 of Flash, this awsome tool has problems with the post maximum size! in my opinion it’s not spliiting the files into the right size! Please fix this problem!

Thanks!

Raziel is right =( It’s stopped working.

My colleague discovered that it appears in the BigFileUpload class. It’s the bigFileSupported function, it seems it is detecting the version numbers incorrectly?

We commented out everything inside the function and returned true. it seems to be working for us now

public static function get bigFileIsSupported():Boolean
{
return true;
}

This is a temporary fix of course

I tried to upload a 1GB file. But it gives me the validation error of 100 GB. If I need to use chunk file functionality and upload larger file what should I do?

I want to edit the swf file.Can you send the all suorce files to me by email??Thank you very much
