Preprocessing uploads.. (guess its advanced)

Hi!

I'm hitting the wall with a little problem.

Its file uploads. No problem getting them to the server, or getting the file or the size or anything.

Now: Its a fact that the client sends CONTENT_LENGTH in the header, and that apache will set that variable before any more data is received.

I also know that I can use a cgi script to receive the content of the POST as it is uploaded (stdin).

Then I want the best of both worlds, the session of my client, the ready parsed output from my action script AND access to the upload while its uploaded :) All of wich is possible, but how on earth can I convince php to give me access while uploading :)

Ideas please!
