I am trying to upload a file in chunks using html5's File API and then reassembling it on the server side in php. I am uploading a video but when i merge the files in server side the size has increased and it is becoming a invalid file . Please note the below html5 code only works in browser chrome . Tested in Chrome 9 as this uses file API's slice function . Can some one guide me on this ? Thanks
PHP source
<?php
$target_path = "uploads/";
$tmp_name = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'];
$size = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['size'];
$name = $_FILES['fileToUpload']['name'];
$target_file = $target_path . basename($name);
$complete = "complete.mov";
$com = fopen("uploads/".$complete, "ab");
error_log($target_path);
// Open temp file
$out = fopen($target_file, "wb");
if ( $out ) {
// Read binary input stream and append it to temp file
$in = fopen($tmp_name, "rb");
if ( $in ) {
while ( $buff = fread( $in, 1048576 ) ) {
fwrite($out, $buff);
fwrite($com, $buff);
}
}
fclose($in);
fclose($out);
}
fclose($com);
?>
