Uploading in Internet Explorer (6.0) seems to work allright, whereas uploading with Opera simply either times out or just fails (without any errors). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-26 13:41:58] rasmus@php.net Well, the part of doing this before Apache demotes its priviledges doesn't sound feasible to me. Apache forks child processes as a non-privileged user. You can't get it to serve up a PHP request as root. And if you could, then why use a "high port" as you mentioned? We will however have a fix for the file upload buffer overflow shortly. In the meantime, simply turn off file uploads in your php.ini file to protect yourself against this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
