Upload multiple image using AJAX, PHP and jQuery
I have a lot of problem to upload multiple images using AJAX. I write this code:
HTML
<form id="upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="drop" class="drop-area">
<div class="drop-area-label">
Drop image here
</div>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" multiple/>
</div>
<ul class="gallery-image-list" id="uploads">
<!-- The file uploads will be shown here -->
</ul>
</form>
<div id="listTable"></div>
jQuery/AJAX
$(document).on("change", "input[name^='file']", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var This = this,
display = $("#uploads");
// list all file data
$.each(This.files, function(i, obj){
// for each image run script asynchronous
(function(i) {
// get data from input file
var file = This.files[i],
name = file.name,
size = file.size,
type = file.type,
lastModified = file.lastModified,
lastModifiedDate = file.lastModifiedDate,
webkitRelativePath = file.webkitRelativePath,
slice = file.slice,
i = i;
// DEBUG
/*
var acc = []
$.each(file, function(index, value) {
acc.push(index + ": " + value);
});
alert(JSON.stringify(acc));
*/
$.ajax({
url:'/ajax/upload.php',
contentType: "multipart/form-data",
data:{
"image":
{
"name":name,
"size":size,
"type":type,
"lastModified":lastModified,
"lastModifiedDate":lastModifiedDate,
"webkitRelativePath":webkitRelativePath,
//"slice":slice,
}
},
type: "POST",
// Custom XMLHttpRequest
xhr: function() {
var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
// Check if upload property exists
if(myXhr.upload)
{
// For handling the progress of the upload
myXhr.upload.addEventListener("progress",progressHandlingFunction, false);
}
return myXhr;
},
cache: false,
success : function(data){
// load ajax data
$("#listTable").append(data);
}
});
// display progress
function progressHandlingFunction(e){
if(e.lengthComputable){
var perc = Math.round((e.loaded / e.total)*100);
perc = ( (perc >= 100) ? 100 : ( (perc <= 0) ? 0 : 0 ) );
$("#progress"+i+" > div")
.attr({"aria-valuenow":perc})
.css("width", perc+"%");
}
}
// display list of files
display.append('<li>'+name+'</li><div class="progress" id="progress'+i+'">'
+'<div class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="0" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 0%;">'
+'</div></div>');
})(i);
});
});
I've tried a various versions and I never succeed to send multiple data through ajax. I have tried in this way what you see above, and now I get only POST informations. I understand why i get POST but I need to send FILES information and I do not know where I'm wrong.
I not work the first time with ajax and often use it for most projects but I have never used to send multiple files and that bothering me now.
Thanks!
Try utilizing json to upload , process file object
html
<div id="drop" class="drop-area ui-widget-header">
<div class="drop-area-label">Drop image here</div>
</div>
<br />
<form id="upload">
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" multiple="true" accepts="image/*" />
<ul class="gallery-image-list" id="uploads">
<!-- The file uploads will be shown here -->
</ul>
</form>
<div id="listTable"></div>
css
#uploads {
display:block;
position:relative;

float: left;
