I am involved with creating a website (i am the systems guy not the
website programmer) on an older computer, a p133 with 80meg of
ram. Since php is by default loaded with apache in the slackware
installation I have chosen. I have told the website programmer that he
will have to use php for file uploads to the site as mod_perl is eats too
much system ram. I have to have setup that will allow the uploading of some
fairly large files > 50mb
Because this is NOT clear in the php manual on file
uploading I need to know if php uploads the file to a memory cache first
then flushes the uploaded data to the chosen uploads directory or whether it
writes the file to disk as it is being uploaded?
If it is the former I will have to look at another solution.
