I posted about this the other day. I was directed to look at megaupload http://www.raditha.com/megaupload/ It works pretty well, I believe it uses Apache::Request to get the raw post info. Issues in general: Whenever this issue comes up people will ask why you need the functionality? I have a client that is in the print industry who receives 50+Meg files. I know for a fact that PHP can add this functionality internally, but thus far have chosen not too. In a perfect world it would have been part of the HTTP spec and all browsers would POST the total byte size and generate a meter just like with downloads. Does anyone else think its time to rewrite all the protocols? Sorry for the rant, stuff like this bugs the hell out of me.

In other words, I have a form for uploading files to the server. The files are pretty large, 50,000+ lines and it takes a good 3-4 minutes to upload. Is there any way to show the progress of this upload on the page? Thanks, Jeff -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
