Hi,
on a linux system (Suese 10.2) with 1 GB memory its not possible to upload
via http a 1 Gb File. Thats no limit problem on my php config. i can look
the mem stats when uploading and the growing tmp file. If the temp file has
900 MB, Main Memory free is 0 and the script aborts and php deletes the tmp
file.
Why don't php use swap memory ?

After reading this thread, I would like to add my thoughts.
What Apache starts, it reads the PHP memory limits in to the running Apache
process. When you try and upload a file, it is a straight HTTP upload. PHP
plays no part in the actual upload, except for the upload limits set in place
by the php settings found in the php.ini or other Apache config files. Now,
Apache actually handles the Upload. Once the file has been received
completely, Apache then passes the file and process running to PHP.
I have never seen a case where Apache has stored the file on the file system.
In my past experience it has always held the file in memory, therefor
limited to the max physical memory that was install, minus a little for other
things.
I have worked on Debian (potato|woody|sarge), Redhat 5.0 -> 9, Fedora 1 -> 7,
OpenBSD 3.6->current, and older versions of NetBSD and FreeBSD.
I have also frequented a number of friends installs and I have never seen
uploads happen any other way. Nor have I heard of uploads happening any other
way.
Just my 2cents :)
