Even if I change that in php.ini it doesn't work. I changed LimitRequestBody
value in <FILE> directive of php.conf located in /etc/httpd/conf.d. Now it is
working fine.
But, I am not sure how post_nax_size effects file uploads. In my server it is
set to 8M and upload_max_filesize is 32M. I successfully uploaded a file with
size 13M .

Seems like I had to change post_nax_size also. It is set to the same as
upload_max_size in my php.ini.

Good stuff Jamie.
Steve, I believe it may even be possible to compress the file on the fly, or
send it using SSL if that is desirable;
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.stream.php describes how to use stream
wrappers.
good luck,

Our mailing list server has been getting bogged down so we are
experimenting with some new code. That code got stuck last night. No
mail was lost, but it did get held up until we woke up to fix it.

Good one. A simple index gives me this:
0.001297 seconds
Which is normal. All it does is request a counter from the DB and add 1 to
it. However, the page STILL takes 5 seconds to load. Or rather; for 5
seconds it does NOTHING and then it suddenly loads.
This is not the case with .htm and .html files, they load at once...
Somewhere there must be something which slows the execution of .php files
for (exactly) 5 seconds.
I just don't know what to think of this anymore :S

How would I go about stracing page requests? I never know which apache child
is going to handle which page.

Top shows that there's still normal non-swap memory available, so I don't
think that's it.

Create profiling information for your application with pear's Timer class or

Jay,
Maybe I'm missing something here but wouldn't this do the trick?
///////////////
$total = 0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $sendnum; $i++)
{
$qty = $_POST['qty'.$i];
echo $qty . '<br />';
$total += $qty;
}
echo "Total = {$total}<br>";
///////////////
I have a suggestion related to how you are naming elements in your form.
Based on the way you are accessing elements in your $_POST array it
looks like your form is setup something like this:
<input name="qty1">
<input name="qty2">
...
<input name="qty99">
The problem is that when the form is posted you have no way to easily
loop over all the "qty" elements. In your example you are using a for()
loop with $sendnum which is a value you had to figure out one way or
another. An easier solution might be to do something like this:
<input name="qty[1]">
<input name="qty[2]">
..
<input name="qty[99]">
and then in your PHP code you can easily loop over the values like this:
///////////////
$total = 0;
foreach($_POST['qty'] as $key => $value)
{
echo "The quantity for {$key} is {$value}<br>";
$total += $value;
}
echo "Total = {$total}<br>";
///////////////
Actually, now that all your values are now in an array you could remove
the $total calculation from the loop and calculate it by doing this:
$total = array_sum($_POST['qty']);
Try using arrays in your forms instead of sticking numbers onto the end
of your variable names and I think you'll find things getting much
easier for you.

I dont think this is just a PHP problem.
I 've had it with 2 other scripting languages.
AFAIK the client browser timesout rather than the upload application. ie the
client's broweser
thinks nothings going on and timesout.
I did read of a nasty fix, where you have a simple frameset where the app is in
the main Frame and
there's a tiny "invisible" frame where a piece of javaScript periodically
refreshes or write's a
character to the frame to fool your browser.
I never tried but would like to hear your views

Hi,
I have a bunch of M$ WORD documents (rtf and doc) that I'd like to
transform to pdf.
It would simple except that I'd like to allow the user to fill a
couple of variables (name, email, telephone) and replace this before
if generates the pdf.
After searching the net I found some classes but in order to use it
seems that I have to rewrite the entire document and some documents
have tables/images.
Any tips ?
