Thank-you. So if I can change in the PHP ini file the max upload size and max post size, all should go well? How would I prevent the server timing out? I read something somewhere about someone planning to use a little AJAX request every so often to keep the connection open, do you think this would work?
<br><br>Would I encounter memory problems with the max memory setting in the ini file/would the server notice the difference?<br><br>Apologies for the 101 questions but I am extremely glad and thankful that you've all replied and I think I'm beginning to understand (maybe).
