A hypothetical: the upload takes a minute or so, but post processing of the content takes (allow me to exaggerate to make a point) one hour...what user is not going to hit cancel and try again...and again...and again...then give up and that !@#$ website? Forking off a process from apache is no different than, say, spooling the content in a directory and post processing with a polling cron job. I contend forking is cleaner and more intuitive, but it may come down to with what the programmer is more comfortable. > It will also prevent your program from ever working on a non-unix > platform. But that's more a religious thing I guess... Yup, sure is. Long live my religion! ;-) Daniel Popowich --------------- http://home.comcast.net/~d.popowich/mpservlets/
