Bug #3367 Updated: PHP code callback during file upload

ID: 3367 Updated by: sander Reported By: cclarke@netcom.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.0 New Comment: -----from 7463----- Hello, I would like to see a feature in PHP, that solves a problem I currently only can solve by writing a CGI script in Perl, which I'd rather not do... I understand that when uploading a file (POST request) from a form, the file is stored at a temporary location on the server. However, I want to read file data in small chunks, passing each chunk along to another server, i.e. "stream" the file data through my server. Is this anything that would be interesting to introduce in PHP, or is it already possible and I'm making a fool of myself? :-) Btw, the key issue here is that I want to make it possible to send a file that is 1 Gb (or some other large value) in size to my server, that only has 200 Mb (less than the file size) of free space...

This would enable a PHP user to build a file upload feature that provides feedback and estimated time remaining to users. This may be similar to "ticks" mentioned in the technical summary of your January meeting, but this is for a part of the process that currently preceeds the execution of any PHP code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3367&edit=1
