Well that's disappointing. Well then how do they do it with the Megaupload script? That works great and isn't slow BUT it doesn't have form processing. The guy who wrote it said that I can paste the form processing script in his upload script but I don't know where to paste it. Any help or suggestions on that would be appreciated.
