Re: Implementing Uploadify (JQuery Plugin) in a CakePHP project

From reading over that topic - on quick glance after using the script
a bit - it looks like this is a case of something trying to be
helpful, and doing too much. Think Microsoft Office Word and it's
ability to auto-set your margins for you to be "helpful".

Without taking a deeper look at both the uploader.fla, upload.php and
jquery.uploadify (Source).js files (and perhaps a quick visit to
CakePHP's mod_rewrite section of the .htaccess file), I won't have an
answer for you...and considering I already have a long list of other
things to work on, I don't think I'll be able to get to this anytime
soon. One question I do have for you though (as it makes a small
difference), is the upload being done for you on a *.ctp file from a
controller's view, a pagecontroller's view, or from an unrelated file
in the document root?
