I got lazy and dropped the ball on my web site for awhile, but I'm back now so I'd be happy to offer any assistance I can. Thanks for trying my software! @juan: sorry, man - I haven't found a good solution to this yet. @aeshan: swfupload.swf should be in the same directory as the javascript: /cake/app/webroot/js/swfulpload/ is what I use. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot this if you still need help. @japh: sure! @ALL: you’ve probably moved on by now, and I apologize for not responding.

I'm trying to use this kit with CakePHP but I'm stuck with the "session" problem. I've done some google work and find that the problem is related to the useragent check. Looking the apache logs just after calling the upload action I'm forwarded to my login action. Can you give some advise on how to fix this issue? Thanks, Juan Nice job!!

I think the only recourse at the moment is to write a file-extension-to-mime-type lookup table or hash map and manually figure out what it is before saving it to the database. There are some posts on the SWFUpload site about it. There may be more info there that would be useful to you. Check their forum. Regarding thumbnail processing, I'm not sure. I thought that the php script was blocking, so I thought it would finish doing whatever was in your upload handling routine. If it's not, perhaps you could look at thumbnail generation upon the first request of the thumbnail image, rather than as part of the upload. I'll look into other options and post again if I come up with anything. @luke: mmSWFUpload was the name of the file when I wrote the first version of the SWFUploadComponent. You're right - it should just be 'SWFUpload'. Thank you. @peter: i wrote it against 1.13. i have no idea what it will do in 1.2. My next version will surely have support for CakePHP 1.2, and it will be released before the end of the month. @rachel: excellent - I'll check that out soon. @timmy: glad I could help. @leo: unfortunately, the mime type sent is entirely in the hands of flash, as you correctly guessed.
