Re: php File upload

smaller files is no problem. The error occoured, if the uploaded File is bigger than the installed main memory. Ok, i know that http ist not designed for big uploads. But on a big website with upload enabled and 30 users upload simultan a 20 MB File, they lost the upload while php hold all in memory/Cache and swap is not used. I don't understand why php write the upload chunck for chunck (i can look this) in upload temp file AND holds the upload in main memory.
