Upload Multiple Files with Progress Bar using Ajax and PHP
The file upload feature is a critical component of many dynamic web applications. While PHP provides a straightforward way to implement file uploads, it often results in page refreshing. To offer a more user-friendly experience, jQuery and Ajax can be harnessed to enable file/image uploads without the need for page reloads.
The web page frequently stays in a loading state during the file upload process, which causes users to be unaware of the progress. Here is where a Progress Bar's usefulness is put to use. Progress bars graphically show how an operation is progressing. The percentage of progress for tasks like uploads, downloads, and installations can be seen using them. Incorporating a progress bar made with jQuery and Ajax, this tutorial attempts to show you how to upload files in PHP.
The example shown here demonstrates the incorporation of an AJAX-powered progress bar that shows the percentage of real-time upload progress. This functionality involves the following steps:
- Create an HTML form with a file upload form
- Create CSS for styling
- Create jQuery Ajax to render a progress bar during the upload process.
- Create a PHP file to handle the file upload to the server.
Create an HTML form with a file upload form.
First, create index.php and paste the below HTML
Create CSS for styling:
Now create style.css and call it in index.php in the header section
Create jQuery Ajax:
Now create jQuery to render a progress bar during the upload process and create ajax function to upload the file.
