Well im fairly new at PHP so I wanted to see how hard it would be to have like a client upload form to upload big files, pictures, etc.. so the client wont have to send it by email because its to big and so they wont have to download an ftp program. Which is a big hassle for the non-tech clients. So ya. Any thoughts and opinions would be helpful. Maybe a field that selects which directory for which client it uploads it to..

Most servers limit the size of the files you can upload to a couple of megabytes. Unless you have access to your servers php.ini to change this php may not present the best solution. As for an upload script there are many floating around. You can give google a shot.
You could have them send the file to you via a messenger. Say msn. Alternatively, an e-mail account on your webserver will usually have a far higher attachment threshold than free alternatives such as gmail or msn. As a result your best option may be to give them an e-mail account on your server and ask them to send it you that way. |

As far as i know usually pop mail accounts have attachments maxed at 4-8 mb average or something, while gmail can handle..well.. i haven't had a file that didn't go through. I think i once did a 80+mb file if i remember correctly. -------------------- fresh-style.nl - small webdesign & development projects |

Its the same for virgin mail.I have never had a file which hasn't gone through with my personal e-mail. Maybe its because it uses an imap server. I don't know. |
