    So i have downloaded, bought, tinkered with flash uploaders for a site i work on.
    and im ready to throw my computer

    they upload the file fine but i cant find one that will easily either accept a value and then pass that value on to PHP so i can update my DB, and preferably a custom filename

    currently the ones im trying NULL out all $_SESSION vars and i cant seem to get them to accept or pass back information.

    I work in PHP i dont know flash, dont really want to.

    heres the scenario :

    UPLOAD.php (calls flash uploader)
    ------------------
    creates new row in database with details of upload (who, what, when)
    recalls the last insert ID to get the ROW ID number of the row just created

    Calls the flash uploader

    FLASH_UPLOADER.swf
    ----------------------------
    does its magic and uploads file with pretty progress bar
    takes the row id number and passes it off to update.php
    renames file uploaded to cutom file name and passes the custom file name to update.php

    UPDATE.php
    ----------------
    Takes the ROW ID and the CUSTOM file name
    updates SQL ROW ID with CUSTOM FILENAME



    so iv gone round and round with some of these flash uploaders, some of the developers are really helpful some are rude

    i need to know does anyone here know of anything like what i describe, worked with something like iv described, be willing to make one like i described and if so how much do you want.

    the PHP is not OOP as ther php version on our server doesnt seem to like OOP


    id like the uploader to only be able to do one or two files at a time and id like to be able to set allowed filetypes.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
    help me out here. this is driving me up the wall
