phpsycho Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I am running a server from home and I want to set up a area on my website to have users upload videos. I would love to use php to upload but if I do it will slow the server down a whole lot so people browsing would get ugly all because someone is uploading a video. what would really suck is if 5 people were uploading videos lol may not even be possible on this server. but my question is.. do you know of another way to upload files to a server? or a fix somehow for php to not use so much ram to upload?

mgoodman Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You could always use FTP. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240462-uploading-files/#findComment-1235105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpsycho Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yeah, but I'm talking about setting up a video section on the website for users to upload their videos.

mgoodman Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Then you'll have to use PHP. It shouldn't be a problem though. I had a small site where users could upload files and I didn't have any problems with it slowing down. Try it first and then if there's any problems you can go back and fix it up.

phpsycho Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 hmmm alright.. just don't my server to crash. :-\ I heard something about using C but I don't know that programming language. Know of a way to use php but slow down the uploading process? so the servers top priority is not uploading that file, its keeping a steady browsing environment. so instead of uploading 10mb in 5 mins, have it upload 5 mb in 5 mins (just an example) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240462-uploading-files/#findComment-1235108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoodman Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 PHP can't do that because it doesn't handle the connection; PHP only processes the request. I don't know anything else useful on this subject, sorry I couldn't help you.
