php and virus scanning

[lelnguye]

Hello, I'm developing a web application where users can upload files into the server. I would like to make it so that the web application performs a virus scan of the file being uploaded before putting it on the server. Not sure if any of that makes sense or if this is the right place to ask this question, but thanks in advance for any reply,

cheers

features on your PHP5 scripts. It uses the Clam AV API for virus scanning.
