Not able to run upload.php using YUI Uploader

Question

I'm trying to get YUI uploader work on my computer / localhost, by using this example . The javascript the page use, can be view here.

The upload button has the following handler:

YUE.on('upload', 'click',  this.upload, null, this);

(...)

upload : function(e) {
    YUD.get('browse').style.display = 'none';

    this.uploader.disable();
    this.uploader.uploadAll('wp-content/themes/storelocator/include/upload.php', 'GET');
},

The PHP file looks like this:

<?php
  echo "TEST";
?>

When I click the upload button, the page is reloaded, but nothing is echoed. The upload button is simple html button <button id="upload">Upload</button>.

Is there are reason why "test" is not echoed?

Answer 1

Well I never used a YUI framework but every upload script I know makes an hidden iframe somewhere on a page cause it is not possible to upload a file using ajax.

I believe that script works, just use firebug to find that hidden iframe and in it you will find your TEST string echoed.

In uploadAll, you need to specify an absolute path. Specifying a relative path will not work. So instead of having it as : 'wp-content/themes/storelocator/include/upload.php' you need to make it 'http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/storelocator/include/upload.php'. Hope this helps!
