Michael Kubler wrote: There are other ways to upload files. I know if you use Google Gears http://code.google.com/apis/gears/ (requires a plugin for your web browser), then you can easily have the file split up http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_workerpool.html (client side) and sent in chunks, e.g 500Kb, and if the upload fails then only that chunk gets affected, you can then resume the uploading and the client only has to re-upload from that failed chunk. I saw this being demo'd at the Google developer conference in Sydney, not sure if it is part of the publicly available release as yet, however I have seen similar things done on some websites. I think Flickr have similar functionality using AJAX calls... but I might be wrong. You are right on this. There are some other great methods for uploading. I just meant that in PHP there is not much more options. Of course in combination with other technologies you can do some pretty cool stuff. You could use some Java applet, Flash, or like you said Ajax in combination with PHP.

Of course in combination with other technologies you can do some pretty cool stuff. You could use some Java applet, Flash, or like you said Ajax in combination with PHP. Exactly. We need to be able to accept uploads now going upwards of 50MB, and from slow international connections too. HTTP just isn't good for that, not to mention all the configuration needing to be done in the webserver and PHP to sit there and wait... We'll probably be forced into looking into third party tools, since HTTP itself, regardless of what server-side language used, is a bit too unreliable, and we need some thicker/beefier solution which allows for resuming, retries on timeouts, etc. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is it because of the memory_limit that it doesn't work ? Yes Do I have a way to upload files (over 7M) on the server without increasing the memory_limit ? Not until PHP 4.2 -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
