Ended up installing uploadprogress from pecl too. this on is 
working good so far :)

Works fine here on Debian.  Do you have another extension enabled that might be grabbing the upload hook?

Hi doesn't seems so since uploadprogress is working fine 
(after disabling apc.rfc1867 of course)

No /tmp/apc* file was created, whereas there is a upt_* with 
uploadprogress

I have the same problem: same Debian, PHP, APC versions, same APC settings.

The progress bar works with SuSe Linux 10.3. but not with  Debian.

I debugged this: the APC upload entry is created when the file upload is complete. Some forums mention mod_security or mod_suexec may be responsible for this behaviour. However, mod_security and mod_suexec are not enabled. PHP is a module. I also have a SuSe system - it is working there.

Suhosin could also get in the way if you have that installed.

Same problem:

APC return infos only when the upload is completed.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to place this, but I am having what appears to be the exact same issue - only under the new Ubuntu 8.04.  Given the linkage between Ubuntu and Debian, I assume it's the same error.

I've worked with the same code for several months now, and everything was fine under Ubuntu 7.10.  Under 8.04, all versions of the script are not working.  //sigh//

I do have APC installed and enabled, and at the moment Suhosin  is incorporated.

Thoughts?

Watch out for firewalls inspecting POST traffic! I disabled the firewall and the progress bar worked.

Apparently, the firewall swallowed up the POST traffic to inspect it, then released it in one piece to the server. Thus, the progress bar would remain at 0% until the upload was complete, then jump to 100% (which was not always observable).

Has somebody solved this problem?

Same exact problem. I can perform what ever troubleshooting is necessary.

Note: I am running a few php-cgi processes behind lighttpd.

further testing..

I switched over to apache to test, same issue:

What happens is as follows:

1) I start polling apc every 100ms for the file upload status.  Obviously, the first few apc_fetch('upload_' . $id) return false which is fine.

2) I submit the upload ( through hidden iframe ) 200 milliseconds later.

3) It seems that only once the upload is complete, does apc_fetch('upload_' . $id) return back a valid upload status, where total === current, i.e. the upload is done ( as others have said above).

Is there any solution for this problem?

What is the size of the file you are uploading?  

Does changing the rfc1867_freq setting change anything?  

Can you validate the test from localhost to make sure a firewall isn't getting in the way?

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

I have the same problems!!
System: Ubuntu 8.04

it checks the file that i uploaded before file i am uploading right now. So it return $status['done'] at the first time.

print_r looks like this:
{"total":4037,"current":4037,"rate":63324372.0037,"filename":"rtor.rc","name":"myFile","temp_filename":"\/tmp\/phplNAPZm","cancel_upload":0,"done":1,"start_time":1240072203.55}

but it check rtor.rc but at the time i am uploading screenshoot.png for example.. :(

so the bug is stell here?

This sounds more like a coding issue to me.  Can you please paste a complete reproduction of your PHP code for both the HTML upload form and the status check?  Can you also send me all your apc.ini configuration options?  I'd also like you to verify your problem reproduces on the latest APC CVS code.

Re: APC return infos only when the upload is completed.

Make sure you put the progress key input type hidden before the file input.
Like this:
<input id="progress_key" name="APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $progressKey;?>" />
<input name="file" id="file" type="file" />

I lost some hours because of this .....

Yes, unfortunately we have to have the hidden field first so we know to start collecting data for the file field following it.  I'll make this more obvious in the documentation ;-)

Got the same problem, entry is created when the file upload is complete. Using lighttpd 1.4.22 (1 Thread), php5-cgi and php-apc or latest CVS code.

Upload:
----------
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" value="<?php echo $unique_id?>" />
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

Progress:
----------
<?php
  print_r(apc_fetch('upload_'.$_GET['progress_key']));
?>

I'm having the same issue with APC not being able to track file uploads. I'm using Drupal's filefield module, which relies on APC and apc.rfc1867 to manage the progress bar.

My webserver is nginx/0.6.35 and PHP 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1 is running under FASTCGI. My LEENIX is Ubuntu 9.10 server.

Here's the link to my Drupal Issue Report:
http://drupal.org/node/437254#comment-1659482

The issue seems to be that

$status = apc_fetch('upload_' . $key);

is always returning FALSE.

I?ve same problem too!

And it?s seems to be the Firewall because in local network it works fine, but not from outside via WAN.

APC 3.1.2
PHP 5.2.9

You can see why right here:
http://forum.lighttpd.net/topic/79260

This is because lighttpd sends the whole POST data to PHP only once it's uploaded. So it sends ?false?, then it's okay when the file is transmitted. See the speed of sending: it's near infinity :-)

No solution but using lighttpd 1.5.0

I was running into the same issue:

OS X 10.6.3
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l DAV/2 PHP/5.3.1
APC 3.1.3p1

Then I read that the APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS input *MUST* come *BEFORE* the file input. Making that change solved all my issues instantly.

Try this, it works.

Wow unreal.. after a few hours of maddening trial and error, I stumbled upon Tims post above and it worked fine!

I cant believe it was something so simple.

Thanks Tim!

Alright, I shall put in a warning for the case where the form input is ordered that way.

Will close it once I've done that.

Cheers!

There you go, a new warning for APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS being behind the file upload.

tim's suggestion from [2010-05-26 20:38 UTC] solved the problem for me, too.

The HTML form in its entirety appears as such:

<form name="formUploadFile" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000000" />

<input type="hidden" name="APC_UPLOAD_PROGRESS" id="progressKey" value="<?php echo uniqid(); ?>"/>

<input name="myUploadedFile" type="file" />

<input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="Upload File" />

</form>
