Upload & Script Timing

[Anon]

I have an upload script that works fine, but I am using a cable modem that is very fast. What if a file takes a minute, or two minutes to upload? The form action immediately calls the script that copies the file from the tmp to its final destination. Will it always wait until the upload is complete, regardless of the upload time, before copying?

Thx

from what i've seen php has to wait until the file has been completely uploaded before the script will continue. however if the file is large or if the user is on dialup the script may timeout for large files. if the file is larger than 8megs (the apache & php default upload limit) or if the file takes more than a couple of minutes to upload, very likely it will time out.
