Solutions YAHOO.widget.Uploader

element. This parameter is required. upload()
myUploader.browse(true, [{description:"Images", uploadAll()

(1) The Uploader can only send data to servers in the same security
sandbox as the uploader.swf file. If uploader.swf hosted by Track upload progress and log it in the YUI Logger (must be included
yui.yahooapis.com is used, then the server must contain a on the page):
cross-domain permissions file allowing yui.yahooapis.com to myUploader.addListener("uploadProgress",
upload files. By default, Uploader looks for uploader.swf in the onUploadProgress);
assets directory in the same path as uploader.js, so if you’re function onUploadProgress (event:Object) {
loading Uploader from yui.yahooapis.com you will be affected YAHOO.log(event.id + ": " + event.bytesLoaded +
by this issue. "/" + event.bytesTotal);
(2) Because of a known Flash bug, the Uploader running in Firefox in }
Windows does not send the correct cookies with the upload; Send custom variables in the same POST request as the file
instead of sending Firefox cookies, it sends Internet Explorer’s submission:
cookies for the respective domain. As a workaround, we suggest
either using a cookieless upload method or appending myUploader.upload("file0", "YOUR UPLOAD URL",
"POST", {var1: "foo", var2: "bar", var3: "baz"});
document.cookie to the upload request.
Modify the file form field name from the default “Filedata”:
Dependencies myUploader.upload("file0", "YOUR UPLOAD URL", null,
null, "DifferentFileFieldName");
Uploader requires the Yahoo Global Object, Dom, Event and Element.
The Uploader also uses the uploader.swf file that by default resides Accept the file upload using PHP on the server side:
in the assets directory in the same path as uploader.js. On the <?php
client side, Uploader requires that the user have Flash 9.0.45 or later foreach ($_FILES as $fieldName => $file) {
move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],
installed on their browser.
"./" . $file['name']);
echo (" ");
} exit();?>
