RE: [PHP] Re: uploading files... necessary Ajax?

[snip]
So that I can get my head around this, are all of you saying there is
no Ajax equivalent of:

<form action="index.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2048000" >
<input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="hidden" name="stage" value="1">
<input type="submit" value="submit">

We can't in some way use the ajax post method to send the file in the
background without a refresh (other than using iframe) is that
correct? Or am I completely missing something here?

That is correct. Without an IFRAME you cannot upload a file without a
refresh.

Take Two. You could also open another window, but that kinda defeats the
purpose.

huh? if I post a file to a script that returns a 204 status and nothing else then
the page should not change in the browser.

of course as Colin pointed out this leaves much to be desired in terms of usability
so for practical purposes you'll want to use an Iframe hack or upload widget built
with java or flash.

True, the missing piece is that the post cannot move the file up to the
server.

I was referring to a standard POST not using AJAX.
