Do you remember FancyUpload? If you missed that one, you can still get back to it, but if you need to add some upload facilities to a site and you have some dark reason for avoiding FancyUpload, today I have something a bit different for you…
… but still the same, because we’re still talking about a piece of code to help you add an upload interface to your site, while looking a bit different and having slightly different requirements. Its name is Uploadify, and since we’re not doing a side-by-side review here, let’s take a closer look at it, shall we?
Uploadify is nothing more but a jQuery plugin that allows you to easily get single + multiple file uploads implemented on your sites, requiring Flash and a server-side file in any language you want, this one being in charge of processing the uploaded file (PHP file is included).
Other than the above, there’s nothing much to say – Uploadify is as easy to use for the end user as it is for the programmer to get it up & running, since all you need to do is call a function, as it happens with any other jQuery plugin…
Compatibility: Uploadify will work with all major browsers, and then some! 😉
