php file upload using http://valums.com/ajax-upload/

Hi

I noted that quite a few in this forum recommend this site for file uploading.
I download this and wanted to know more on how to make modification.
My project is in php and mysql

First thing - using the demo from the client folder.
I can click on the browse button, select a file and it shows uploaded but I could not find the uploaded file.

Qns:
1) where is the file uploaded to?
2) how and where in the code should I modify if I want to upload the file to a specific folder?
3) where can I modify the code if I want to update a mysql table with the filename of the uploaded file upon successful uploading.
4) where can I modify the code if I want to trigger an ajax call once uploading is successful

I dont seems to be able to find a full working sample (with codes) and explanation.
Hope someone can offer me a sample code with the above qns.

Thanks.

uploaded files are being stored in a temporary folder, from where you can move them anywhere you need and perform additional tasks as well... for more information, see:

Hi,

thank you for the comment. I know of moving the file via php function. But I do not know where is the uploaded file located for me to be moving that file to the specific folder I wanted.

I noted in the php.ini that it says temp upload folder to be c:\windows\temp folder but I could not find the uploaded file in that folder.

Thus I am unsure if the file is actually uploaded bec maybe the demo.html script in http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ is not complete (ie it show the proccess of uploading but it doesn't really upload a file??)
Thus asking for user with experienced using http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ for assistance and more info.

Thanks
