I have a simple FTP upload working to my server with PHP. The only status I have that something is actually going on is the little status bar on the bottom of IE. Is there any script that I can use to bring up a little animated file moving box with estimated time left for the upload??

thanks.

    The short answer is no.

    The long answer is nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    :p

    Theres no interface between PHP and the browser like that, so it can't be done in PHP. I don't believe JavaScript has any functionality to work out how far along a request is either.

    You might be able to work in out using Flash.. but thats Flash, and a plugin, and therefore nasty.

      or java

      or, if your php maintains a list of what needs uploading, you could calculate how far through the list the script has got, and display progress in a popup window that auto-refreshes

        Wow.. The options are endless... 🙁

        Thanks though
