Two options: 1) You can recompile PHP with the startrek module and use startrek_transport() to instantly transfer anything (data, even physical objects) from anywhere to anywhere else. 2) You can use telepathic means to read the data stored on the client, then type it into a file and save onto the server. But technically speaking, both of the above are still variations of 'uploading' the file onto the server. So another option is: 3) Install a webserver on the client and serve the files from there instead. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db ------------------------------------------ /* If a program actually fits in memory and has enough disk space, it is guaranteed to crash. -- Murphy's Computer Laws n5 */
