Let's see if I can explain what I want to do. We have a sever on one domain (say http://videos.domain.com) that is going to process videos that are uploaded by users and convert them to a flash format. The server can only process one video at a time so they will need to be put in a queue. Now, the upload form will be on a different server (http://main.domain.com) and we want to be able to upload the video to the remote server and then get an answer back from that server after it's done it's thing so we can give the user a proper error or success message. My original thought for doing this was to make the form action action="http://videos.domain.com/video.php" and then just use a header("Location: http://main.domain.com/uploadForm.php?result=true") or whatever result we want to send back may be. Never having done a lot with files as large as video files will probably be, I started to wonder if this was the best way at all. I'm assuming the odds of the upload going slower or screwing up completely is much greater if I'm doing it to a remote server instead of keeping it on the local server. Then I was thinking I could put them local to begin with so the user didn't have to put up with it going over a remote connection. The problem then becomes the fact that I'm not sure how I would go about getting them from the local machine to the remote machine and queued up to be processed in an automatted way. Any suggestions for the best way to go about this or should I just do it the way I've already put forth? Or maybe open a socket and do a 2 way with that? Thanks for any help or guidance you may have to offer. - Butcher -
