php http upload, php ftp and curl, Web access CMS to upload big files.

[eluser]searain[/eluser]
I am building web access CMS allow user to upload files.

The server max allow upload size is 8 MB in php.ini and we cannot/don't want to change it. But the video files could be 100 MB or more.

So http upload is not going to work.

What else can I do to allow users to upload 100 MB video files through the web access CMS.

use php ftp or curl functions to solve the max upload size issue? These are from server to server? Now I am trying to find from client (like web browser) to server upload approach.

This is a general php question. But I am using codeigniter. So if there is php or better codeigniter specifically solution, that will be great.

Any advices?

You can try swfupload, which uses a flash-based upload.

Thanks!

I checked swfupload. It seems very good.

Could anyone share your opinions about swfupload here?

1) Any advantages, disadvantages, limitations etc. about swfupload?

2) Other than swfupload, any other upload approaches you can recommend?

I am thinking about merging swfupload into a framework I am building. There are a lot of places would use upload in my framework. I would like to find the more info about it before I process to merge swfupload to my framework.

Thanks!
