Re: File Upload: why does it take so long?

How long would it take to FTP that file to the same server?... There's a fair amount of overhead with the browser and web-server and PHP, and the file upload code isn't as old and pounded on as FTP, but the numbers should be in the same ballpark, I should think... Does the PHP program do anything other than the upload? Copy the file, etc? Throw in some timing code around that and try to see if it's the upload or the copy that is taking all the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron <none@email.net> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 7:24 PM Subject: [PHP] File Upload: why does it take so long? > Why does it take take so long to upload a large file through php? > Small files (5 Meg and less) take about 30 sec. to complete the upload, > but any file uploads over 5 meg take a very long time. > > While attempting to upload a 34 meg file, the browser looked as if it > stalled, but I let it run and 20 min latter the file was uploaded > correctly. > > 450 intel cel > FreeBSD 4.1 > PHP 4.0.3pl1 > Apache 1.3.12 > 100 base T network > > What is going on that takes so long? > Please, please, help! > THANK YOU > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
