Hi
I'm a new web developer and I'm working in a website whose goal is upload large image files.
The idea is the following
1.- Allow to the user upload large image files(.tiff,.jpg, photoshop extension, corel draw ext,etc). Limit of the files 200mb
2.- Present a status bar when the file is loading
3.- Once the file is loaded show to the user a thumbnail of the image loaded
The result would be very similar to the sites: largeformatposters.com, vistaprint.com, etc
we don't think to keep the files in the server is just for receiving.
I have a account in host dreamhosts
How could I carry out this? I need a strategy before of begin to code
Regards,
Nelson

Re: Uploading Large Image Files
You need a host that allows you to set the webserver and PHP to allow POST and upload sizes of 200Mb. Then you probably want an upload solution that allows restarting uploads that failed. There are several of those if you search. PHP allows this with an extension that allows monitoring the file being uploaded.
