I'm trying to install a mixed PHP/JavaScript script, that Rasmus
Lerdorf wrote, on my server. This script shows an upload progress bar
while a file is uploaded through a form.
Here is Rasmus' example: http://progphp.com/upload.php
And here is the sourcecode: http://progphp.com/upload.phps
The first lines of that script read:
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
$status = apc_fetch('upload_'.$_POST['APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS']);
$status['done']=1;
echo json_encode($status);
exit;
} else if(isset($_GET['progress_key'])) {
$status = apc_fetch('upload_'.$_GET['progress_key']);
echo json_encode($status);
exit;
}
?>
<html>
....
Then follows the html document with the JavaScript for an upload
progress bar.
Now, my problem is the following:
I am on a shared server. I do have PHP 5.2, but I cannot install the
APC extension, so of course Rasmus' code won't work on my homepage.
So this is my question:
Does anyone know an alternative for apc_fetch here?
I can't really tell from the documentation on php.net, what this
function would return here and what I might supply instead.
Any help (even a link to a more detailed instruction to APC) would be
very welcome.
