PHP is dead?
(telegra.ph)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
File upload behavior is actually determined by your web server (unless you're launching PHP in listening mode) so apache is probably who you want to blame here.
Other languages behind reverse proxies from apache httpd or nginx do not have the same memory hit. You can still blame php. Not my fault they tied their language to the webserver in a way that uses tons of extra memory.
