Anyone used uploadify scriptData

[samvb]

am having a lot of headache trying to pass values to upload.php

I have tried various ways to pass one parameter but it is always empty in upload.php.

I have seen the sample but I failed to get it right nor all the other tutorials outthere helped me out.

here is the code i am using

$(document).ready(function() {
	$("#UploadImages").fileUpload({
	'uploader': '/erivoices/fbox/uploader.swf',
		'cancelImg': '/erivoices/fbox/cancel.png',
		'script': '/erivoices/fbox/upload.php',
		'folder': '1502',
		'multi': true,
		'buttonText': 'Add Photos',
		'checkScript': '/erivoices/fbox/check.php',
		'displayData': 'percentage',
		'scriptData': {'serah':1502},
		'fileExt': '*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png',
		'simUploadLimit': 2,
		
		
		onError: function (a, b, c, d) {
if (d.status == 404)
alert('Could not find upload script. Use a path relative to: '+'<?= getcwd() ?>');
else if (d.type === "HTTP")
alert('error '+d.type+": "+d.status);
else if (d.type ==="File Size")
alert(c.name+' '+d.type+' Limit: '+Math.round(d.sizeLimit/1024)+'KB');
else
alert('error '+d.type+": "+d.text);
},
	});
});

	
		function startUpload(id){
			
$('#UploadImages').fileUploadSettings('scriptData',"serah="+id);
//alert('&amp;name='+$('#name3').val()+'&amp;location='+$("#location").val());
$('#UploadImages').fileUploadStart();
}

And in the body section, I am trying both:

<div id="UploadImages">Photo Uploader Error</div>
 <a href="javascript:startUpload(1502)">Start Upload</a>
		<a href="javascript:$('#UploadImages').fileUploadStart()">Start Upload</a> |  <a href="javascript:$('#UploadImages').fileUploadClearQueue()">Clear Queue</a></p>
   </div>

I am having to Start Upload commands because I want to try them both but both failed. By the way, even the following variable don't go to upload.php

'folder': '1502',

and upload.php is

<?php
require('../konfig.php');
// JQuery File Upload Plugin v1.4.1 by RonnieSan - (C)2009 Ronnie Garcia
//I want to upload the files to folder 1502 which I must get from GET or POST as it varies from call to call.
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
require(DB);
$workingon=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[serah]);
	$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
	
	$targetPath = GROUPPICTURES.$workingon."/";
//WHERE GROUPPICTURES is a constant defined in konfig.php

	$targetFile =  str_replace('//','/',$targetPath) . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
	
	// Uncomment the following line if you want to make the directory if it doesn't exist
	// mkdir(str_replace('//','/',$targetPath), 0755, true);
	
	move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
	
	
}
	
echo '1';

?>

First check that upload.php is working correctly. Echo out the POSTed variable values.

Next, try out a working example from the uploadify samples following the examples exactly as coded. When you have that working, you can then adapt to your requirements.

hi,

i took the code from the samples in uploadfy. They would work if i want to place the images/files in the same directory as the whole uploadify files, just like in the samples. And upload.php is not accepting the POSTed variables which is the root of the problem. I think the variables are not been posted to it but I don't know why.

'method' : 'GET',
'scriptData': {'serah':1502},

add method parameter with 'GET' in the option. The default method type is 'POST'. I test it, it can pass scriptData to server.
