So I don't forget: PHP and jquery upload progress bar. Why the PHP team didn't change the way uploads are handled in PHP 5 is completely beyond me. As a file uploads it gets written to /tmp, but your script which is to handle the file has no way of knowing which file in /tmp is yours. This would be simple to fix. I wonder how many developers started looking at Ruby on Rails just for this one feature? (I know, that would be a crazy reason to switch languages, but I'll bet it happened.) Anyway, seems like third parties have now made it pretty easy to add this to PHP (you used to have patch the source and then recompile.)
