Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 5.2.0: "Hooks for tracking file upload progress
 were introduced."
From: rasmus@lerdorf.com (Rasmus Lerdorf)

They are C-level hooks.  The various storage mechanisms need to add
support for them in order to expose them to userspace PHP.  I added
support in pecl/apc, for example.

See:

 http://progphp.com/progress.php
 (pick some random file in the 200k size range)

Source at:  http://progphp.com/progress.phps

Eventually we will see more extensions that manage server-side storage
with support for the hooks.
