I also would like to know this information, please. I've tried to make my own website but as I'm a total newbie to web design/development and all the rest of it, I fail to get things to work. Not that I ever give up..I will go on trying till I die. If you get the answer to this, would you be so kind to pm me Kelvin?

First you need a host that allows to upload a higher file than 1 kb.
Then, download a PHP script on the net, it's easy to find it around here.

sysax, I believe that all host use allow us to upload any file bigger than 1kb.

I will not use those host does not allow to upload any file bigger than 1kb, it will take more time to upload our website.

Is it possible to recommend those website have such scripts?
Thanks in advance.

to make such a site you need to purchase a god host with high hosting capacity..
and after that its ur programming skills to make space for the new upload which the users will make..

You can use the following code:

For the HTML/PHP file you want the upload form available:

Code:

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> 
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

This is for the php file connect from that html code,
then connect to database and also hosting:

PHP Code:

  <?php
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
  echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
else
  {
  echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
  echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
  echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
  echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
  }
?>

Remember to add some file restriction else people will upload .exe which contain virus/trojan/spyware to your host.

Checkout this free Flash based upload script. http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx MultiPowUpload is easy client-side solution that can be used to perform file uploads from a user machine to the web server. MultiPowUpload is a Macromedia Flash movie supported by most browsers and needs just Flash player plug-in on users side and any standard file upload script on server side. In a pure-HTML solution, client files can be uploaded to the server via a multipart/form-data form with one or more items on it. However, the form-based approach has the following limitation: * The "Choose File" dialog shown by a browser does not allow multiple selections. * To upload multiple files at once, the HTML form must contain multiple boxes, and each file must be selected individually. * An entire folder cannot be selected for uploading. * There is no way to specify file filters to be displayed in the Files of Type box of the "Choose File" dialog. * There is no way to put a limit on the type, size and number of files being uploaded before an upload begins. * File date information cannot be preserved. * There is no progress state information while upload. MultiPowUpload features: * Multiple file selection at once by Ctrl or Shift keys. * Selection the all files of the folder by Ctrl+A hot key. * Rich progress and status information during the upload process. * File filters by extension in the "Choose Files" dialog. * Limit the maximum allowed size of individual files. * Limit the maximum allowed total size of files. * Limit the maximum allowed number of files to be uploaded at the same time. * Possibility to cancel an upload anytime. * Access to files date modified, date created, name, size and creator(Mac users) information. * Download multiple files feature. * Multilingual and customizable interface. * Interface can be replaced with custom HTML and Java Script code. * Supports SSL (HTTPS) and authentication. MultiPowUpload system requirements: Server's side: * Any OS and web server. * Standard script which receives files sent using RFC 1867 protocol on server side. MultiPowUpload compatible with most upload scripts and components. Built-in ASP, ASP.NET, PHP and Perl scripts examples are included. User's side: * Any OS. * The browser has to be RFC 1867 compatible in order to upload files. Most known browsers are RFC 1867 compatible. * Macromedia Flash Player 8 plug-in should be installed.

Hi..thanks for the code
i was searching for this information..
i will try it in my site
Can we use any uploader.? do we have software for that

tusherdcc · November 4th, 2008, 22:11 PM

use filezill software for upload the desired file to your host.
I do prefer that application for uploading the mass file to server.
you can also use cpanel to upload file to your server. but it depends upon your service provider weather they allow the cpanel system for you or not.

try and inform me if you get success or failed.
Search filezill in net. it is a free software...

if using software, i think it will become much more easier. sometime we can do somethign on our website even we don't know the basic

There's also a jQuery plugin, where you can allow multiple file upload. The site provides example on how to use the plugin, I think it's quite simple to follow.

You can check it out from this link:
