Hi Michael, Thanks for info. I use shared hosting and reason that they don't allow that extension is that uploadprogress is still in beta. I tried both apc and uploadprogress on my local PC and solutions that they provide are very good for me.
I will be happy to change hosting provider and if you know any other hosting with those extensions please inform On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 12:02 AM, Michael A.
