Re: Need Your Help :) I'm Just About Creating File Uploading Service

Neh, we don't have plenty of these in Israel, don't count it in as an issue. Serving the files won't be an overkill for my harddrive / cpu usage / anything else? There is a better way to serve the files with/without PHP and keeping them outsite of the HTTP root? Thanks in Advance, Nitsan On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 10:43 PM, Michael A.
