Hi again, Andrew:
You had asked some questions that I forgot to address with my previous
reply, so here goes:
The test file that I'm using -- which probably is a small version of the
normal file -- is around 60 MB in size (just under 30,000 records).
I checked the phpinfo info and it appears that the allow_url_fopen
setting is set to "On," which I take is a good thing. How, then, do I
specify the filename at the server so that it points back to the file that
is on my computer (or whatever computer is trying to initiate the process)?
Thanks again for your help,
Jon
