in thread file upload and IO::Handle

I still cannot figure out hook, the values passed to it(or jus, received (why not passed, or where passed from?)) and what executes it.

Well, CGI explains all that in Progress bars for file uploads and avoiding_temp files but what happens is, CGI has a socket for the upload, every time it reads a chunk from the socket, it calls the hook with the new data, which is where your parameters are coming from.

    Ok, I followed the CGI recommendation for setting it:
    $q = CGI->new(\&hook [,$sess_ref [,$use_tempfile]]);
    and I get this error:
    syntax error at /home/path/to/Files/file_upload_sys.data line 5, near +"&hook ["
    which is the line I showed you above...
    why does that not work? $sess_ref is the session reference to variable to use the session stuff, the CGI documetion says $data is optional and can be the database handle, so I figured I may as well pass the session reference so it can use the session they are in, to update the status. but the error happens.

    Also, inside of the hook, I have it open a temp file and write data to it, always appending it so that I can confirm it is reaching inside the hook, but nothing ever gets written and no die error is executed so I know it is just not getting executed. How could that be?

    Thanks again,
    Rich

      Get rid of the [

      $q = CGI->new(\&hook [,$sess_ref [,$use_tempfile]]);

      That's the example from CGI showing the optional syntax. What it means is that you can use it like

      $q CGI->new(\&hook);
      or
      $q = CGI->new(\&hook, $sess_ref);
      or
      $q = CGI->new(\&hook, $sess_ref, $use_tempfile);

      Once you get that squared away, you should see hook getting called.

        Thanks rowdog, that got rid of the error, still not working however... tried it with the session they are logged in with and with a temp session both:
        ### Filename: file_upload_sys.data ## subs in file: #hook $| = 1; $q = new CGI (\&hook, $sess_ref); # CGI->new(\&hook, $sess_ref); ## T +ried it with both of these, neither worked # Also tried both of these: #$q = new CGI (\&hook, $sess_ref, $use_tempfile); # CGI->new(\&hook, $ +sess_ref, $use_tempfile); # Neither worked $_sloc = '/tmp/s'; # This is the file upload hook, where we can update our session # file with the dirty details of how the upload is going. sub hook { my ($filename,$buffer,$bytes_read,$file) = @_; my ($sessid) = $ENV{QUERY_STRING}; my $length = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; my $percent = 0; if ($length > 0) { # Don't divide by zero. $percent = sprintf("%.1f", (( $bytes_read / $length ) * 100) ); } if($file) { $file->attr("_uploadUpdateStatus_",join(':',$bytes_read,$lengt +h,$percent)); } # Write this data to the session file. open (SES, ">$_sloc/$sessid.session"); print SES "$bytes_read:$length:$percent"; close (SES); } my $action = $q->param("view"); if ($action eq "upl") { # Make a file upload hook. # They are first submitting the file.

        What am I doing wrong? I cannot seem to get it working, even if I have the hook open a debug file and write anything to it, nothing happens. I tried it just using $sessid.session and when that did not work, I created a global file in: /tmp named: s with 777 permissions, still it does not work (we are on a dedicated server behind a firewall so I did not mind doing that, I know it is safe).

        Any idea why this does not work?

        Thanks,
        Rich
