Is it possible for PHP to tell server to queue up for certain job?

Hi,

my web application involves text extraction from word document. Is it possible for PHP to make that "text extraction" job queue up? Worry that if 20 people submit document together will jam up the server and then cause time out.

or is the "queueing" done on the text extractor component and not in PHP?

Heh, then run it on 'Nix, not Windoze.... 😃

PHP sets a memory limit and time limit on web scripts. If things get slow, you get faster hardware (or more of it) or your clean up and speed up your code....
