[PHP] File upload memory useage.

2001-12-29 Thread Jim Broughton

 I am involved with creating a website (i am the systems guy not the 
website programmer) on an older computer, a p133 with 80meg of
ram. Since php is by default loaded with apache in the slackware
installation I have chosen.  I have told the website programmer that he
will have to use php for file uploads to the site as mod_perl is eats too 
much system ram. I have to have setup that will allow the uploading of some
fairly large files  50mb 
Because this is NOT clear in the php manual on file
uploading I need to know if php uploads the file to a memory cache first 
then flushes the uploaded data to the chosen uploads directory or whether it
writes the file to disk as it is being uploaded?
 If it is the former I will have to look at another solution.

Well, I just finished a ftp program that originally used php to catch the
uploaded file, but soon realized the it did load it into memory then dump it
into a file.  I finally ended up using perl running with xinetd to capture
the uploaded file and drop it into a file.  then let php play with it from
there.
