you probably won't be able to edit PHP.ini with shared-hosting. The other solutions, one I can think of it now - you can use PHP to upload files from remote computer to the server at certain time, and set schedule with cron to run your PHP scripts on your server. Good luck

Thanks, Wolf. I'm going to have to do a lot of long processes -- uploads, queries, and the like -- and I appreciate knowing that I can adjust that. Now if I can just find the PHP.INI file.... (Stupid GoDaddy-shared-domains; can't find anything on 'em.)

Currently, I'm trying to transfer a CSV file to the server, have it process the file, and then delete it once the processing is complete. Rather than waste the up-front time of having to upload the file (which is currently timing out without fully uploading the file and I have no idea how to resolve this!), is it possible to have the server open the specified file remotely and read it using the fgetcsv() function? If so, how? > > > > Any help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated! > > > > Thanks, > > > > Jon > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
