Pure HTML5 file upload
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeToday we will be developing a great HTML5 file upload form with progress bar and preview (at client-side). We have already given you jQuery based solution, but today’s application doesn't require jQuery at all. Everything is made in pure HTML5 Javascript. I’m going to use FileReader (html5) to implement live preview (without uploading to the server), and, going to use XMLHttpRequest to send data to server.
Here are our demo and downloadable packages:

Ok, download the sources and let's begin !
Step 1. HTML
On this page you can see our form for uploading images:

Most of the code is already commented. So I will hope that you will understand all this code. Anyway – how it works: when we select file – function ‘fileSelected’ executes. We filter all unnecessary formats (allow uploading: bmp, gif, jpg, png, tif), and the in case of a huge file – we will display a warning message. Then, through FileReader::readAsDataURL we will draw a live preview of the selected file. Plus, we will display another bit of information about the image: its name, size, type, and dimensions. The process of uploading is a little complicated. But generally, we have to prepare an XMLHttpRequest object, and add event listeners to the next events: progress, load, error and abort. And after – post form data (I have used FormData class) to our ‘upload.php’ receiver.
Step 4. PHP
upload.php
<?php
function bytesToSize1024($bytes, $precision = 2) {
$unit = array('B','KB','MB');
return @round($bytes / pow(1024, ($i = floor(log($bytes, 1024)))), $precision).' '.$unit[$i];
}
$sFileName = $_FILES['image_file']['name'];
$sFileType = $_FILES['image_file']['type'];
$sFileSize = bytesToSize1024($_FILES['image_file']['size'], 1);
echo <<<EOF
<p>Your file: {$sFileName} has been successfully received.</p>
<p>Type: {$sFileType}</p>
<p>Size: {$sFileSize}</p>
EOF;As you can see – I’m not uploading file. Instead, I ‘echo’ back all info about accepted file. This information will appear in our <div id="upload_response"></div> element.
