How do I get a file browser for uploading photos or files

Post by edkellett »

Hi,

I currently have a php page that I use to upload photos... it works fine, but...

How do I get a file browser for uploading photos or files that looks better, that looks like facebook's one for example... much more user friendly? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

I don't know what facebook's one looks like, but I bet they use flash or something.

You can't use javascript to upload or browse files...so I don't see what else they could be using. Except maybe a Java applet.

I think SWFUpload is commonly used.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
