Upload files using Ajax with Progress Bar

Uploading files using some server side languages are not a big deal. But, if we handle file uploads asynchronously, then we will be able to save time as well as some sudden overload to the server. Here is a very short working demo of code that uploads the file through Ajax. Actually, the file is uploaded via the server side code (here PHP), but the user don't have to step upto the next page and it feels like it is happening in client side.


  • 1.   Create an HTML file say, form.html and put the following code.

        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
        <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
        <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.js"></script>
        <script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
        </head>
        <body>
        <div class="container">
        <h3 class="page-header">File Upload via Ajax with Progress Bar</h3>
        <div>
        <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="file" name="myfile"><br/>
        <input type="submit" value="Upload File to Server" class="btn btn-primary">
        </form>
        </div>
        <br/>
        <div class="progress">
        <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped active" role="progressbar" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100">
        </div>
        <div class="percent">0%</div >
        </div>
        <p class="alert-info" id="status"></p>
        </div>
    
        <script>
        (function() {
        var bar = $('.progress-bar');
        var percent = $('.percent');
        var status = $('#status');
    
        $('form').ajaxForm({
        beforeSend: function() {
        status.empty();
        var percentVal = '0%';
        bar.width(percentVal);
        percent.html(percentVal);
        },
        uploadProgress: function(event, position, total, percentComplete) {
        var percentVal = percentComplete + '%';
        bar.width(percentVal);
        percent.html(percentVal);
        },
        success: function() {
        var percentVal = '100%';
        bar.width(percentVal);
        percent.html(percentVal);
        },
        complete: function(xhr) {
        status.html(xhr.responseText);
        status.addClass('alert');
        }
        });
    
        })();
        </script>
        </body>
        </html>

    2.  Now, handle the file upload into another file, upload.php as follows.
    <?php
        $uploaddir = 'E:/WebArtisans/';  //Path to a directory on your file system
        $uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['myfile']['name']);
    
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
            echo "File is successfully uploaded.";
        } else {
            echo "Upload failed.";
        }
    ?>

    How to change the colors of folders?

    Creating Folders Having Different Colors In Windows:


    Windows doesn't allow us to create the colored folders by default. Hence we have to install a folder colorizer in our Windows to make it happen.


    1. Download the folder colorizer setup file from here.

    2. Install the downloaded setup file. If it asks to install the Microsoft .Net Framework, then install that too.

    3. After the successful installation, you can now proceed to add colors to the folders of you PC.

    4. Right click any folder to which you want to add color.

    5. Select "Colorize!" option and then select the color you want to add.


    6. Now refresh (F5) your computer to see the instant effect.

    Enjoy! :)

    Defining Member Function in C++

    The data member of a class is declared within the body of the class. However, the member functions can be defined in one of the two places.
    • Inside the class definition
    • Outside the class definition

    No matter whether the function is defines inside or outside the class definition, the function performs the same operation. But the syntax of the member function definition is different if declared inside or outside. The program code written inside the body of member function is the same whether it is declared inside or outside.

    1. Inside the class definition:

    The general syntax of the function definition inside class definition will be as:

    class classname
    {
        //……………..
        public:
            return_type member_function(args…)
            {
                 //function body
            }
    };

    Following example illustrates the definition of function inside class definition:

    Source Code:
    //definition inside the class
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class student
    {
        private:
           int roll;
           char name[20];
           char phone[10];
        public:
           void getdata()
           {
               cout<<"\nEnter Roll Number: ";
               cin>>roll;
               cout<<"Enter Name: ";
               cin>>name;
               cout<<"Enter Phone Number: ";
               cin>>phone;
           }
           void showdata()
           {
               cout<<"Name: "<<name<<endl;
               cout<<"Roll Number: "<<roll<<endl;
               cout<<"Phone Number: "<<phone<<endl;
           }
    }; //end of class

    int main()
    {
        student s1, s2;
        s1.getdata();
        s2.getdata();
        cout<<"First Student"<<endl;
        s1.showdata();
        cout<<"Second Student"<<endl;
        s2.showdata();
        return 0;
    }

    Sample Run:
    Enter Roll Number: 1
    Enter Name: John
    Enter Phone Number: 1234567890

    Enter Roll Number: 2
    Enter Name: Marrie
    Enter Phone Number: 9876543210

    First Student
    Name: John
    Roll Number: 1
    Phone Number: 1234567890
    Second Student
    Name: Marrie
    Roll Number: 2
    Phone Number: 9876543210



         2. Outside the class definition:


    The general syntax of the function definition outside class definition will be as:

    class classname
    {
        //……………..
        public:
            return_type member_function(args…);
            //…………….
    };

    Return_type class_name::member_function(args…)
    {
        //function body
    }

    The declaration can be done in private or public section.
    We have presented the same example presented above where member functions are defined outside the class specification.

    Source Code:
    //definition outside the class
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    class student
    {
        private:
            int roll;
            char name[20];
            char phone[10];
        public:
            void getdata(); //function declaration
            void showdata();
    }; //end of class

    void student::getdata()  //function definition
    {
         cout<<"\nEnter Roll Number: ";
         cin>>roll;
         cout<<"Enter Name: ";
         cin>>name;
         cout<<"Enter Phone Number: ";
         cin>>phone;
    }

    void student::showdata()
    {
         cout<<"Name: "<<name<<endl;
         cout<<"Roll Number: "<<roll<<endl;
         cout<<"Phone Number: "<<phone<<endl;
    }

    int main()
    {
         student s1, s2;
         s1.getdata();
         s2.getdata();
         cout<<"First Student"<<endl;
         s1.showdata();
         cout<<"Second Student"<<endl;
         s2.showdata();
         return 0;
    }

    Sample Run:
    Enter Roll Number: 1
    Enter Name: John
    Enter Phone Number: 1234567890

    Enter Roll Number: 2
    Enter Name: Marrie
    Enter Phone Number: 9876543210

    First Student
    Name: John
    Roll Number: 1
    Phone Number: 1234567890
    Second Student
    Name: Marrie
    Roll Number: 2
    Phone Number: 9876543210



    Function Overloading in C++

    In a program there can be many functions with different name. However, some functions conceptually perform the same task on objects of different types and numbers. In such a case it is convenient to give them same name. When the same name is used for different operation, it is called function overloading. When an overloaded function is called the function with matched arguments is invoked.
    Examples of overloaded functions are as follows:
    void display(); //function with no arguments
    void display(int); //function with one int argument
    void display(float); //function with one float argument
    void display(int, float) //function with one int and
                             //one float argument

    A Complete Example to demonstrate the function overloading is as follows:

    Source Code:
    //function overloading
    #include<iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int max(int, int);
    long max(long, long);
    float max(float, float);
    char max(char, char);

    int main()
    {
    int i1 = 12, i2 = 22;
    cout<<"Greater is "<<max(i1, i2)<<endl;
    long l1 = 400000, l2 = 380000;
    cout<<"Greater is "<<max(l1, l2)<<endl;
    float f1 = 34.04, f2 = 54.455;
    cout<<"Greater is "<<max(f1, f2)<<endl;
    char c1 = 'f', c2 = 'F';
    cout<<"Greater is "<<max(c1, c2)<<endl;
    return 0;
    }

    int max(int i1, int i2)
    {
    return(i1 > i2 ? i1 : i2);
    }

    long max(long l1, long l2)
    {
    return(l1 > l2 ? l1 : l2);
    }

    float max(float f1, float f2)
    {
    return(f1 > f2 ? f1 : f2);
    }

    char max(char c1, char c2)
    {
    return(c1 > c2 ? c1 : c2);
    }

    Sample Run
    Greater is 22
    Greater is 400000
    Greater is 54.455
    Greater is f

    How to Compile a C Program on Ubuntu

    This article will guide you to compile a C program on Ubuntu using the GNU gcc/g++ compiler. Additions were made in order to simplify and clarify the creation of a C program on Ubuntu.

    1. Open up a terminal on Ubuntu and install the build-essential package by typing the following command in the terminal
    • sudo apt-get install build-essential
    • This will install the necessary C development libraries for your Ubuntu system to create C programs.
    2. Create a directory and a sub directory to hold your C programs and your main HelloWorld program.
    • mkdir -p CProgram/HelloWorld
    • We are using CProgram for the main directory to hold our created C programs and we are using the sub directory HelloWorld to hold our main program.
    3. Then we will change into our created directory by issuing the following command
    • cd CProgram/HelloWorld
    4. Next we will use a text editor such as gedit or nano to create our C or C++ source code using the following command.

    • gedit main.c
    • OR
    • nano main.c

    5. Enter the source code of your program. For example: the HelloWorld program is as follows:

    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    int main()
    {
            printf("Hello World,\nThis is my first program compiled on 
    Ubuntu.");

            return 0;
    }

    6. Save the file as main.c and exit.

    7. Compiling your C program
    • Make sure you are in the CProgram/HelloWorld directory before you compile your C programs.
            Now type in the terminal:
    • gcc -Wall -W -Werror main.c -o HelloWorldC
    • The first line will invoke the GNU C compiler to compile the file main.c and output (-o) it to an executable called HelloWorldC.
    • The options -Wall -W and -Werror instruct the compiler to check for warnings.
    9. If you get the permission errors, you need to make the file executable. You can do this by issuing the following commands below
    • chmod +x HelloWorldC
    10. In order to execute your program you will have to type in the following commands.
    • ./HelloWorldC
    [Note: All the sentences that are highlighted are the commands that have to be written in Ubuntu terminal.]

    8. After this visit https://bitly.com/ or https://goo.gl/ on your computer browser or mobile browser and get short link. (For example, the link should be like this: http://goo.gl/9HJCHa)
    9. Now send this short link to your friend (the victim) one at a time.
    10. After sending link to victim, refresh the Facebook at biNu's homepage. At this point the victim should have clicked on that link.
    11. Now enjoy. You can read messages, post on wall, see friends list, update status and many more.
