With what linux BS have you tested? No, it isn't the apaches job/problem. I do nothing with the file. Looking for $_FILES Varables and then move_uploaded_file. But i said it before, the problem is not at this point. If i upload the file and watch memory with vmstat, free is going 0, cache is going to top and if free is 0 => temp file was deleted and script witout an error comes back. At the crash point, the File is not complete uploaded, so my $_FILES have no entry about the file specs. Im hanging some days with many tests on differnet machines (alls suse) on this Problem and can't solve it :-( "Per Jessen" <per@xxxxxxxxxxxx> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:g7f110$1ge$2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tom wrote: > hmm, memory buying is okay, not the final solution.

Once the file is uploaded, PHP is invoked to process it. You do your move_uploaded_file() etc. What do you do to the uploaded file? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
