Flash file upload vs php file upload - which one to choose?

Question

I was trying to upload a photo on facebook using a browser with no flash, and could see that it didn\'t work.

I am pretty confident in handling files and related issues

Answer 1

Well, with flash, the obvious letdown is that it will only work when a user has flash (although, you could display something in its place if they didn't). If your a flash programmer and comfortable with flash, I can see how it would be better. You could generate a file list, multiple uploads ect. I would say it's just an alternative to JavaScript for providing interactivity and allowing users to upload content dynamically.
