Sever side script considerations

The file is received by the server side script with the name of the input, for example: if you set that the name of the input is image, then you must expect on the server-side script an input called image.

The server side script must return '1' or '{success:1}', if you wish to attach more data to the response just print a json string, if you want to set your custom error message, return the error property on the json string. See upload.php
