Uploading large files: should I use PHP ?

Post by stephane »

Hello,

I need to allow an end user to upload video files on a server and in the same time to put the file name and a few infos in a database. It must be very simple for the end user, and uploading with a browser in a form would be perfect since it allows to upload and fill a form in the same time.

I'll have full control of the server (no max_size problem etc). The end user connexion is ADSL, the server is on a 100mb internet connexion.

But I'm worried because the file uploading by PHP (at least what I code usually) will probably timeout (the files will be 200mo at least) or have problems, and you can't finish an aborted transfert. FTP would be better but it is not as simple for the end user.

What would you use to keep the operations easy, reliable and OS independant ? Thanks for any suggestion

Stephane
