Go with Gears, no extra server code or configuration necessary. If you are anti-applet, you'll still need javascript, and depending on the file sizes you're dealing with, you'll need to modify the server configuration (which is out of a lot of people's control) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
