[PHP] HTTP PUT for file uploads

2008-08-01 Thread mike
It appears that PHP can support the PUT method using php://stdin and appropriately configuring the webserver to accept it. My company needs a file upload solution that will support large file uploads (2GB limit is optional - if we have to tell them less than 2GB that's fine) that will keep

Hello! Johannes has packed PHP 5.3.0alpha1 yesterday evening, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but only if you have a short reproducable test case. The final release is expected sometime between

Is this a repetitive thing your clients will do many times? I recently created a backup solution using ssh keys and the pecl ssh extension to automate backups. Then a cronjob sorts the files on the server. It's a lot more secure than allowing PUTs. Thank you, Micah Gersten onShore Networks

So are you suggesting, create the users in the forum, and then just serialize/unserialize when needed to store the info so when they go to the picture upload side it queries the forum database? On Aug 1, 2008, at 8:07 AM, Bernhard Kohl wrote: ?php #User authentication should not be a

If I fully understood the question you were asking then no. Since it seems you are using a database there is no need to serialize. You can write a simple function that fetches user data from a DB query and then creates the object. If you are going to use sessions you will have to do that only when

Oh right. Doing 1 measurement only is not even worth a theory. Well, I'm wondering how much PHP can speed that result up, since we are calling the same function with the same parameter 1 times. Wouldn't it be even more realistic if we called it with changing strings? ?php $iterations =
