How can I get the uploaded file details from uploadify after completion

Question

How should I retrieve the uploaded file details from uploadify after the completion of the upload process. I want to do a process in the uploaded file. But when I use the uploadify it simply uploads the file to a location through the uploadify.php which I customized. I want this uploadify process to redirect to a page after completed with the details of the file such as filename and the targeted location where I will proceed with my second operation on the file uploaded Updates This is what my code as of now ```

Accepted Answer

Do you know that you can get the `filename`, `filpath` inside the `onComplete` event like this:-

```
onComplete: function(event, queueID, fileObj, reponse, data) 
{
    alert fileObj.name; //The name of the uploaded file
    alert fileObj.filePath; //The path on the server to the uploaded file

location.href= "complete.php?filename="+fileObj.name+"&filepath="+fileObj.filePath; //Here you can do a javascript redirect
}
```

Check the documentation for further details http://www.uploadify.com/documentation/events/oncomplete-2/

Are you looking for those values? If not let me know

Updates

As per your question updates, you have 2 options.

Either to do the "some process" after the file upload in the uploadify.php. You can see the file `uploadify.php` which comes with the uploadify plugin. There you have the `$_FILES['Filedata']` array containing all the file info. You may do the post processing here itself (by calling a function better instead of writing lots of code in uploadify's core code)

in uploadify.php $_FILES['Filedata']['name'] //file name

Or like I said, get the file name and path inside the `onComplete` event. Then pass these params like this :-

```
 location.href= "complete.php?filename="+fileObj.name+"&filepath="+fileObj.filePath;
```

I think this is better. You may send an ajax request instead to do the entire process (file upload + your "some process") without loading the page again. Write a $.post() request inside the `onComplete` event with those parameters and post to "complete.php"

Getting parameters inside `onComplete` which are not available by default

You have to use the `response` parameter available inside `onComplete` I worked on uploadify version 2.1.0 so my solution will work for sure on that version. If you want only one parameter, you can echo that at the end of `uploadify.php` I did the following thing:-

In my `uploadify.php` changed (this was in the original uploadify.php):-

```
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo "1";
```

to this:-

```
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo $tempFile;
```

and then inside the `onComplete` event did an explode -

```
var tmpName = reponse;
```

If however, you want to get more than one parameter inside `onComplete`, this is a trick I can give (this is not a good approach, but I was not able to return multiple params by any other way - I tried returning json array etc.):-

```
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo $param1.'%%__%%'.$param2;
```

and then inside the `onComplete` event did an explode -

```
var paramsArray = explode('%%__%%',reponse);
param1 = paramsArray[0]; 
param2 = paramsArray[1]; 
```
