do uploads count as script running time?

Post by mydimension »

what i want to know is if i have a form with many upload fields and each upload has the chance of being rather sizeable (i.e. images), will the time it takes to upload all these files be counted as time running for the receiving script or not? if it is going to affect it i will have to look at changing the script timeout limit.

while i think the answer is no, i just want to be sure.

Great question;

I would assume that it may be a different answer with each webserver product available.

I work for a TV/Media company and I have an upload section for collaboration of files. These files are huge. Very easily 1gig or more. No need for time limit adjustments.

So I would say that the script is actually paused pending the sucessful attempt to upload has finished.
