How to do it

1. We've already created a simple form that contains a file upload field.

2. Click on the Pure PHP Upload 3 icon and the window will appear.
    

3. In the general options select your form (1). We will leave the timeout (2) (maximum time that the upload script is allowed to run) empty for no time limitation and the max form size (3)( the max form size for all the form fields allowed to be uploaded) blank for the same reason.
   
   

4. Choose whether to store the Filename or the Full path if you are using a database to store the uploaded file names. In our case we choose to store the Filenames.
   
   

5. Select how the file should be handled if its name conflicts with a file that already exists in the upload folder. We choose the Make unique option.

6. We choose a different folder from the Upload folder field (1) as we want to store the files in a different one. Also, we leave empty the Max file size (2) as we don't want any size limitation.

7. For our tutorial we will limit the uploaded file type only to images, without any restrictions for the images size. The redirect URL is only needed if you are NOT using Insert/Update Record behavior.

8. In the Progress tab (1) we will select one of the predefined progress bar designs, the HTML5 one (2).

9. You can customize the progress bar (1) the way you want and preview it directly in Dreamweaver (2).

10. Now you can save your work and preview the result in the browser.
