What I learned was that the upload tracking didn't work with FastCGI (which would have prevented our switch to nginx, but not a deal breaker) and what broke the deal, though, was the fact that APC's upload progress is apparently not thread safe, so if person A is uploading a file and person B starts an upload, you get a silent failure. Which brings me to another point, it seems to silently fail. Ultimately, I went with a flash based solution because the APC solution had way too many problems to be really useful. It's a nice thought, but I wouldn't recommend it. I know this isn't exactly what you wanted, but I had a similar experience and thought I would share :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
