Slow Upload

Hi, We have developed a PHP based application which runs on an intranet. The application involves uploading of files to the server and maintains a repository of sorts. We used the standard File Input box to get the file and then copied it from the temp location to another location using the copy($userfile,$copyfilename) function. Everything works fine but our customer is complaining that: "a 9 MB file took more than 2 minutes and uploading another 16 MB file took unacceptably long times (more than 3 minutes) . Any file transfer within our LAN is Ultra fast , but file transfers with the PHP application are slow". Has anyone faced this problem before? Is there a solution for this? Could somebody help please? The operating system is Solaris and we are using PHP 4.02/Apache 1.3.12. Looking forward to your advice. Hmm.. there seems to have been a bug in PHP4 which was fixed on 25 Sept 1999 with details as under: =========================== ID: 2291 Updated by: thies Reported By: fmal@fmal.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Performance problem Assigned To: Comments: fixed in CVS (buffer sizein SAPI was defined too small). =========================== Could this thing have cropped up again?
