the one thing i can think of is that curl_exec() somehow stops listening for results and hangs the calling php script (php_daemon_script in this case) if it does not receive any data for more than a few minutes (converting the 60mb vid file takes about a minute, and the 2gb script well over 30 minutes).. however i haven't been able to find any bugreports via google that describe this bug.. could it be i found a new bug in libcurl?... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
