Thus if you're trying to upload a 10MB file you would probably have to increase the memory_limit to 18MB to be on the safe side. > as to the question if I should use FTP, yes I can and do for most, but I > am trying to get this working for most as this is a lot easier for > people to send files, so if I can get it working for larger files then > things will fly Remember HTTP uploads doesn't allow you to resume transfer. Thus if a file was 99% uploaded and an error occurs you have a very unhappy user ;-) -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* And miles to go before I sleep. -- Robert Frost */
