The uploadprogress extension for PHP never really worked on Windows and since I don't have a Windows development environment I could never do a proper analysis of the problem. Until this week, when Tomas Holusa sent me an email telling me about some VCWD_RENAME problems on Windows. I digged a little bit deeper and found this patch commited by Pierre 10 months ago to the PHP 5.3 branch. This confirmed the problem that if the target file already exists, VCWD_RENAME fails on Windows (but works on unixy systems). Writing a patch for that problem was then easy and according to Tomas, the extension finally works on Windows.

If you want to try it out, Pierre was so kind to compile the latest CVS snapshots for PHP 5.2: php_uploadprogress-1.0.0-5.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip or php_uploadprogress-1.0.0-5.2-nts-Win32-VC6-x86.zip (or search for it at http://downloads.php.net/pierre/). More feedback of running this on Windows would be appreciated, then I can finally release uploadprogress 1.0.0 and mark it as "stable" :)

Btw, I still owe you a "Caveats with Upload Progress Meter" for the most common problems with the extensions. I didn't forget that and can hopefully post it soon.

Update: Fixed the link to point to the 1.0.0 DLLs

Hi!

Is any possible run this under PHP 5.3?

Thenks

Chregu @ 19.07.2009 15:42 CET
As soon as Pierre has the time to compile the extension for 5.3, it will be available here http://downloads.php.net/pierre/

Does this work on IIS?

Chregu @ 17.08.2009 07:30 CET
Willie: Theoretically it could also work on IIS, but I didn't here from anyone trying that.

Willie @ 17.08.2009 15:23 CET
just so anyone wants to know, it works on IIS :)

Chregu @ 17.08.2009 15:25 CET
Great to hear, thanks for your feedback, Willie

I run Apache 2.2.6 and php 5.2.5 on Windows using WAMP.

When i restart my web server, the php_ error.log file contains:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: uploadprogress: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=1
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0

So it seems to be related to thread-safety=0

Basdub @ 20.08.2009 21:12 CET
Yes of course nts for non-thread-safe and then... just above there was the thread-safe version... on Pierre's link The module is loaded properly as expected

Thanks I will test it right away!

Basdub @ 20.08.2009 21:52 CET
still returns null. no info about the progress.

Is there a prefix to the key when calling uploadprogress_get_info like
uploadprogress_get_info('upt_' . $key);

No offense, but apc, on the other hand, is working. It is disabled when doing test with uploadprogress.

Thanks

Max @ 30.10.2009 22:30 CET
I have the same problem, sometimes it returns null, otherwise "Failed to load source for: ">http://localhost..." :(

Milos @ 04.11.2009 08:34 CET
Thanks ! works for me - I have Zend CE and it works like a charm.

Gavin @ 24.11.2009 17:28 CET
I've got this working with
Windows XP
PHP5.2.11
Apache 2.0.63

you need to add this to the PHP.INI
uploadprogress.file.contents_template = c:/temp/upload_contents_%s
uploadprogress.file.filename_template = c:/temp/upt_%s.txt

default is for a unix machine /tmp/
