Is there a limit on the MAX size of a PHP file. I have a script that is about 95,000 bytes in size and on my CABLE MODEM everything works fine, but when I try to load it using a dial-UP connection it won't work. ANy idea what could be causing this? It can be found at

Any and all suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

    Are you referring to the PHP file size? That does not matter in download time of it's result. The main thing would be the size of the result it dishes out to the browser.

    The system I'm involved in is very heavy on forms and on most of the screens when loaded, the file size can be up to 300-500kb at once and the clients are mostly using satellite analogue modems to grab these pages for data entry - yes it's dead slow (getting 16kbps would be a very good day) but it works.

    And to put your worries down the core php script that executes on mine is about 2mb in size.

      I just tried it on a dialup and it appeared to work. It was awfully slow and there was a significant delay before any content was transferred, but it loaded. Your browser's not just getting bored and timing out?

        Thanks for trying it. I isolated the problem to a script that comes from weather.com, for some reason it won't load when I am connected by dial-up unless I take the script out. But when I am connected with my cable modem it loads just fine. Plus other people had no problems using dial up.

        It did open my eyes to another problem of what to do about having such a big file to be downloaded. The nature of the information dicates that it be so large. I guess I will have to some how optimze the HTML code. Thanks again

          95000 bytes of PHP code?? How many lines are that?
