Hi,

Is the way in programming to detect that a file (or specifically an image) has been completely uploaded?

I am looking for a programming technique to maybe detect all the bits are there and that it was a "full" upload and not busy still uploading.

We have no checksum functionality unfortunately so we can not use that.

We can use PHP or any linux console program.

maybe imagemagick? Just a note that we are not using PHP's upload functionality but rather the files are coming through another channel (PHP upload functionality has a check for partial uploads)

Google is not helping me this morning so does anyone here have experience or knowledge on this? Or any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)

Nick
