My header code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#sampleFile').uploadify({
'uploader': 'include/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
'script': 'add_list.php',
'scriptData': {'mode': 'upload'},
'fileDataName': 'sampleFile',
'folder': '/work/avais/bizlists/lists',
'cancelImg': 'include/uploadify/cancel.png',
'queueID': 'sampleQueue'
});
});
AFAIK all I can do in the "add_list.php" file is finish the upload process off by moving the file to the final dir; I don't think there is any way I can 'return something' like an error right?
It would be good if I could use this file also to disallow certain characters or return an error if there was some kind of problem, but I don't think there is?
I guess I could just strip out any bad characters, but would be useful to know if I can return a response somehow?
You can add some event handlers to your upload script to check for complete action and for error
$('#sampleFile').uploadify({
'uploader': 'include/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
'script': 'add_list.php',
'scriptData': {'mode': 'upload'},
'fileDataName': 'sampleFile',
'folder': '/work/avais/bizlists/lists',
'cancelImg': 'include/uploadify/cancel.png',
'queueID': 'sampleQueue'
onComplete: function (event, queueID, fileObj, response, data) {
// A function that triggers when a file upload has completed. The default
// function removes the file queue item from the upload queue. The
// default function will not trigger if the value of your custom
// function returns false.
// Parameters
// event: The event object.
// queueID: The unique identifier of the file that was completed.
// fileObj: An object containing details about the file that was selected.
// response: The data sent back from the server.
// data: Details about the file queue.
},
onError: function (event, queueID, fileObj, errorObj) {
// A function that triggers when an error occurs during the upload process.
// The default event handler attaches an error message to the queue item
// returning the error and changes it's queue item container to red.
// Parameters
// event: The event object.
// queueID: The unique identifier of the file that was errored.
// fileObj: An object containing details about the file that was selected.
// errorObj: An object containing details about the error returned.
}
});
So, as the onComplete function will have the response sent back from the server side script, you can return a response to the client and then parse the response inside the event handler.
