Question

I have PHP module working very well where I can upload video title & upload actual video file. Currently I can upload larger sizes video too on my website but without displaying any progress status. So I decided to use uploadify but I am bit confused on how to integrate code of uploadify.php file into my existing programming. Because in my existing programming, I auto generate video file name and save video file on server as well as store video details into MySQL database table. Then I tried to put uploadify.php code into video_add_p.php file but it is giving error.

When I write [uploader : ‘uploadify.php’], it works fine and upload file on server but doesn’t store details in database.

When I write [uploader : ‘video_add_p.php’], it gives error “HTTP Error (302)”.

Please help on this issue,
thank you, KRA

Answer 1

in uplodify you can attach a from data like this, so you can grap a post or get data and save into your database

HTML

<form name="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" id="video_upload" name="video" placeholder="Select your file to upload">
  <input type="text" id="video_caption" name="caption" placeholder="video caption" />
</form>

jQuery
you can send whatever through “formData” variable

$('#video_upload').uploadify({
    'swf'       : '/includes/uploadify.swf',
    'uploader'  : '/includes/uploadify.php',
    'buttonText': 'browae file(s)...',
    'onUploadStart': function() {
       $("#video_upload").uploadify('settings', 'formData', {'caption':  $('#video_caption').val()});
    }
  });

PHP

<?php 
   $caption = $_POST['caption'];
?>
