Hello,
Currently I am helping develop a website using PHP and mySQL on the backend... using unix servers at my host.
I have a standard form that allows the user to fill in general information and so forth that will by saved in a PHP database.
The user must attach an audio file .mp3 which is normally around 15MB, but could be smaller or larger.
Here's the tricky part, this file needs to go to an offsite storage server at Limelight. Basically limelight is a storage provider that does caching and has multiple points of presence for fast access.
Anyway, I need to know how or get some direction on the best way of going about doing this. It seems like I may need a very rich web interface and have the file directly ftp'd to the Limelight site instead of sending it to my host (where the form and web pages are) and then having the backend some how send it to limelight.
I have gotten some feedback already that suggests NOT allowing the browser to be able to ftp to the server via some sort of component due to security risks... which is a definite concern.
I look forward to your wisdom and thoughts.
Greg
