That's the good thing about this, it does not require any hosting changes. It's just text being sent via POST just like a normal form submit, the PHP code portion just accepts the data and assembles the file based off of it. The Gears stuff is all client side, so it requires no server side stuff. The Gears stuff is needed for some of the UI components (javascript doesn't do it alone), the file browse, the slicing of the file (splitting the file in realtime and send chunks of it) - in theory a browser could implement this transparently, or in a web browser module (which Gears is essentially) Anyway all the tools are there, no server tweaks required, just a little bit of client-side javascript (which I have samples for) and PHP (i have samples) and the browser needs Gears (which almost all platforms/browsers support it) On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 12:39 PM, Gevorg Harutyunyan <gevorg.ha@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > Thanks for info. > I use shared hosting and reason that they don't allow that extension is that > uploadprogress is still in beta. > I tried both apc and uploadprogress on my local PC and solutions that they > provide are very good for me. > > I will be happy to change hosting provider and if you know any other hosting > with those extensions please inform > > On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 12:02 AM, Michael A.
