Hi Michael, I'm familiar with using with. The documentation states that it's usually easiest to use chunks of a file to prevent memory over use. My client's site needs to run in a shared environment at WebFaction, so I'm just trying to limit memory use on these file uploads as much as possible.
So, what I'm looking for is an example of how to do what the documentation states - use chunks all the time instead of loading the file into memory if it's 2.5MB or less.
