Hi,
I'm submitting a patch (previously sent to php-dev as suggested in
the [obsolete?] README.SUBMITTING_PATCH) to perform "on the fly"
MD5/SHA1 digest calculation of a file uploaded via the HTTP POST method.
Since it is not uncommon for applications to require some digest of a
freshly uploaded file, doing the math directly in the buffer where the
file is being read can save some time.
Digest calculation is triggered by setting the special input fields
COMPUTE_MD5 and/or COMPUTE_SHA1 to a non-zero value:
(note that these assignments must precede the
<input type="file" name=...> field, as in the MAX_FILE_SIZE case.)
The result is found in the special variables
$_FILES[userfile]["md5"] and $_FILES[userfile]["sha1"].
These variables are defined only upon request of the corresponding
digest.
The patch was produced against rfc1867.c v1.137, but applies to the
current CVS file (v1.141) as well.
Cheers,
David
