Images selected for upload PREVIEW only plugin?

in Getting Started • 7 years ago

Can someone recommend me a plugin (jquery, js, angular etc) that shows previews of images that are selected for upload? I dont want to upload them with this plugin, ONLY PREVIEW them. Images will be sent and uploaded normally with PHP.

Also if possible if that plugin has deleting selected image option or reorder them, but not important.

Best Regards

For SOME modern browsers, you can use the built-in File API. You might find some plugins, but you may find the API does what you need, as-is. MOST of the current browsers support it, with one glaring exception: Chrome on Android. Mobile Safari/iOS supports it from iOS 6.

It's not possible with other browsers. The file-selection dialog is part of the browser, and ONLY allows the user to select files for upload only.

You could play tricks with uploading, and then re-downloading with Ajax. Yuck!

Google is your friend. As well, you will probably get more response about plugins by posting to the Plugins forum section!

Maybe Jake can weight-in - he's done some considerable fiddling with the File API.

Images will be sent and uploaded normally with PHP.

PHP runs on your server, not int he browser. PHP CANNOT "upload" files from the user's computer! So, I don't know what you mean by "normally with PHP".

You can UPLOAD from the browser using either the older <input type='file'> over which you have little control, or the new File API. You'll need some PHP code on your server to receive them. Once your server receives them, it can do anything you want with them - perhaps store in a database, or perhaps forward-on to some other server.

File upload using the file API is available in all modern browsers. It is required for doing "deleting selected image option or reorder them".

Like Jon said, "Google is your friend." There are so many plugins/code snippets out there. Each has a slightly different look and feel. Some support additional drag, paste, and other cool features. Some are just bare bones. Some do multiple, all at once upload, and some do one at a time. Just search for "jquery file upload"

I suggest jQuery File Upload Demo. I have done it all, so feel free to ask questions about that plugin, other plugins or custom code.
