Re: APC - Upload progress problem. apc

Andrea: I have in my php.ini: apc.rfc1867 = On apc.rfc1867_freq = 10K The apc.php diagnostic/report page says it is on. It just returns false. I will look at your zip file and see if something jumps out. Thanks, Phred On Sep 14, 2009, at 4:04 PM, Andrea Giammarchi wrote:

Can you write here how you configured APC? In my old test I had to set apc.rfc1867 = On and if you grab the zip: http://www.3site.eu/examples/APCQuery.zip tell me what is exactly wrong (I tried ages ago though, I am using other strategies right now:http://code.google.com/p/noswfupload/ - not suitable for 1Gb of files though) About trying to grab info via PHP ... there is a little problem, that page will be executed only after the file has been sent, so obviously you'll never be able to know size, error, tmp_name, before the file has benn fully stored in the tmp or specific folder, got the problem?

That is a cool idea, but you are right, concurrency could definitely be a problem. That's what APC is supposed to solve because it tags the file with a unique ID. But I can't get that sucker to return the value to me! If I could get APC to work I would be done. I also started looking at trying to grab the temp file, ". $_FILES['video_file']['tmp_name'], and then keep checking its size on the server, but I don't think I can get the temp name from php until it is uploaded. Do you know if that is possible? One other thing, I looked at a canned media management web app ($875 US) that will do this uploading, and it doesn't require APC, so there definitely is some way to do this with basic PHP.

The concept of my last link is this: the instant before you do the upload you ask PHP to scan the tmp folder, or the folder used to upload files (often the tmp) and you snap number of files, then the upload starts, and it will create a temp file with a PHP predefined prefix, you array_diff the snap

with

the current file list and you get the file that the user is

uploading.

At that point if you are lucky the input="file" field will give

you

access to its fileSize, and you have everything to create a

progress

bar: the polled incremental tmp file size in the server, plus the total in the client, a bit of transitions/effects and that's it. This method is not ideal, generally speaking, because it could easily suffer concurrency between multiple users. I did not know Flash player had to put the entire file in

memory, it

sounds truly silly for scalability reasons, are you absolutely

sure

about this? About APC you need to enable it and so far I had no problems with files up to 350 Mb , I wonder why 1Gb should be a problem. Regards

with files that big, perhaps could write client js that polls a script on the server that simply returns the file size(s)? if you want a thermometer, use the number to resize a colored div.

Thanks Tom, for weighing in. Having js poll a script on the server is kind of what APC was

about,

and perl as well. Are you saying I could use PHP on the server

side

to do this? It seems almost obvious, but no one mentions it any

where on

the web, so a expected there was some fundamental limitation

without

APC. Do you have any idea what this script might look like? Is it

possible

to get the temp file name before the upload is completed so

that its

size can be monitored? If it is, it is just too dang simple! ...but I'd take it for

sure.
