Re: Bug #11056: file upload (size > 1MB) takes too much time

I can confirm this behavior on Windows 2000 and php 4.0.5 PHP should not scan every POST for files and save them locally. Perhaps, there could be a function which could extract the file segments from the POSTed data on request? For backward compatibility, PHP could offer a flag in php.ini. I think the POSTed data is parsed at the startup, how about if that behavior could be controlled when the encoding type is multipart/form-data? (again, using a flag in php.ini) maybe a php_multipart_post (), which will cause stdin to be read (for CGI) and variables to be created as on startup?

Bug description: file upload (size &gt; 1MB) takes too much time The same problem discribed in #10800: I'm using a simple upload-form to submit name, version and file to php-script. When filesize of the "to be uploaded" file is < 4MB the upload tooks place in a few seconds! Greater files do exist in temp-directory a few seconds after submit-button in browser is hit BUT nevertheless more and more MB are submitted to the apache (which slowing down the system) and the PHP-file neither comes to an end nor produces a timeout... Thanks in advance for any hinds - with kind regards Torben
