Hi Guys,

I want to create a php script that will measure the upload link or speed. I have been thinking about it but can't seem on how to go about it.

If any of us was to build such a solution using php, how would you go about it?

Cheers,

There's a lot of discussion about upload/download speed measuring on the forum already. Search around. You'll be disappointed to discover it's more difficult than you think.

I already did and it seems no one has really put up code for the uplink part. I will like to discuss how to go about it first.

Once that is covered - then we can start writing code

Just remember that with anything like this that any speed you measure is only the speed of connection that the user has to YOUR server. It does not work as a general speed test.

Start off by looking at upload progress bar scripts. You'll need Javascript as well as PHP.
