allowing large PHP file uploads

[hosting365.ie]

I've a customer looking to upload large files through our servers.

I don't really want to up the memory_limit setting in php.ini as then a customer with some dodgy PHP could easily take a machine down by gobbling up the RAM.

Anyone know of a way to upload via http that doesn't need this setting, or some crazy applet ?

Hi, how large does the file need to be? 10MB? 100MB?

That's the problem. Various customers want different things. One guy wanted to be able to upload ISO images (up to 700MB) for distribution to customers. No way I'm upping PHP to handle that.

I once tested ASP control to receive 50MB upload it worked ok... (I know I know it isn't php :)) but for 700MB he should be using FTP ... especially if it's only him who will upload the file...
