Sounds like you need a Java applet. I have little experience with this,
but I know that quite a few exist. I have no idea if any of them support
sending meta data with the upload. I suggest you start Googling.
Even java applets have to hand over the file to some script, in this case
php and php will get it in $_FILES array it seems (in case of japplet). so
the problem will remain.

Thanks for your reply.
So you are saying I cannot do it using php. These files have to be
uploaded locally but using web interface and I have to pass some
parameters along with file upload to update the database after upload is
successful. Also I have to rename the file after it is uploaded.
Any utility which allows this?

I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be as big as 4
GB. But when I try to set post_max_size = 4G
upload_max_filesize = 4G
in php.ini, it doesn't work and everything in post (posted data) is
ignored.
I get a warning about size of posted data greater than some negative
number.
I read somewhere that php stores this data in integer.
I have tested it on 64 bit system (php 5.1.6 installed on Mandriva
2007.0) as well as 32 bit system (php 5.2.2 installed on windows xp
sp2).
Value up to, I think, 2147483647 bytes or ( around 1.999.. gb) works
We need to allow uploading of 4 GB files. Is there any solution.
Yeah, don't use HTTP. Seriously, HTTP is a crappy mechanism for
uploading files, especially large ones. And by large ones I mean
>~20MB!!
You need to look into maybe a java applet, or just plain FTP/SFTP/SCP
for files that big. HTTP was never designed to handle uploading files of
that size. For a start there is no facility to restart the upload should
it get interrupted and fail.
