Upload fails regardless the value of memory_limit  
value.  
	I am using the following values for post 
file uploading: 
		memory_limit = 10M 
		post_max_size = 10M 
		file_uploads = On 
		upload_max_filesize = 10M 
		allow_url_fopen = On 
 
	Uploading anything bigger than a pair of 
megs fails 
 
	I have also tried with php-4.1.2-7 but then 
I could only upload till memory_limit value, and 
the upload tmp dir is only used when the whole 
file is in memory, so I can only upload files up 
to the amount of memory y have in the system.

The first problem was solved (now memory_limit is 
used) as it was a configuration problem. 
 The second problem still stays. The upload eats 
system memory until memory_limit. If I am using a 
tmp dir why does this happen?

Yeah, this is known behaviour. PHP reads the whole uploaded file into memory before writing it to disk. Not a bug.

Well, I  have been doing more tests and it seems  
that the system memory that is being used is for  
the catching of the filesystem. I dont know if it  
is a good thing that so many memory is eaten just  
for file catching but this is an operating system  
issue and not php related bug so If everyone  
agrees I close the bug.   
Regarding last message from Dreoth@houston.rr.com, 
did you double check the values for the php.ini 
file, related with post and file uploading? 
Remenber that post limit should be at least 
filesize+size of php script. 
 
		  memory_limit =  ?? 
                post_max_size =  ?? 
                file_uploads = On  
                upload_max_filesize = ??  
                allow_url_fopen = On
