Question

im using plupload( http://www.plupload.com/index.php ) and i would like to know how can i pass variables in the form to the upload.php file , i tried this:

<form  method="post" action="dump.php">
<input type="text" id="event_id"/>
    <div id="uploader">
        <p>You browser doesn't have Flash, Silverlight, Gears, BrowserPlus or HTML5 support.</p>
    </div>
</form>



$(function() {
    $("#uploader").plupload({
        // General settings
        runtimes : 'flash,html5,browserplus,silverlight,gears,html4',
        url : '../upload.php?event_id='+$("#event_id").val(),
        max_file_size : '1000mb',
        max_file_count: 20, // user can add no more then 20 files at a time
        chunk_size : '1mb',
        unique_names : false,

like this(passing the var in a query string) does not work.

Maybe with the multipart_params option? Found in the documentation.

multipart_params: {event_id : $("#event_id").val(), param2 : 'value2'}

Use $_REQUEST['event_id'] to get the event id.
