File Upload Progress Bar

[Barrucadu]

I've started a file hosting site, and my brother suggested that it would be better with a progress bar showing how much has uploaded.

Any idea how I would do this?

As the links suggest this cannot be done solely by php alone. There are some methods that have been devised using php but they are cumbersome and just do not 100% work properly (and usually need more than standard access to the server to install)

PHP5 includes a 'hook' for this, I've not messed with it much though.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/megaupload/ would be something that would allow you to do this.

I've used MegaUpload successfully before as well, but now that I'm moving all my projects to php 5.x, I think I'll switch to the upload hooks as well.

Also, for some clarification, the link posted earlier by powerspike (http://www.raditha.com/php/progress.php) is the actual homepage for the MegaUpload project mentioned by NeeJam.
