upload file with ajax codeigniter

Question

I allow users to either post a comment on an article but i would also like to add the ability for users to upload photos via ajax so no refresh takes place...

i have searched many plugins but most of them are too overwhelmed for what i am trying to achieve...

I have the UI and the backend...i just want to know how to make the file pass from the client to the server i can check/store it etc...

Take a look at code.google.com/p/swfupload - I have used it with CodeIgniter in the past. The only gotcha (see codeigniter.com/wiki/SWFUpload for a little more information) is the Mime type. I have been able to get around this by inspecting the $_FILES and getting the correct mime type this way. — Gavin

The only other solutions are IFrames (openjs.com/articles/ajax/ajax_file_upload) or HTML5 (blog.new-bamboo.co.uk/2010/07/30/…). — Gavin
