Thanks Sami. I think WordPress is a little fussy with the startargument tag as it took several attempts to edit it into the post as well. Very strange. Thanks for letting me know though

Just saw an error in your myapp.xml.

2nd to last line currently reads:
-p c:\nginx

Should read:
-p c:\nginx

Comment on Retrieving ColdFusion memory usage by misterdai

Hi Ed,

Thanks for asking. I’ll probably put together a small blog post of the code and an explanation of it during the next week.

Would it be possible you to share the “CF7+ Windows only” code that you have for CPU usage please? If so, please send it to the registered email address. Thx

Comment on Upload size before CfFile-Upload by misterdai

PHP gives you the information via $_FILES right from the first line of your code. It contains the following lovely, useful information: file name (original), type (mime), size (bytes), tmp_name (on server), error (code if something went wrong). You can then use a function called “move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $new_name)” to put the uploaded file where you want.

ColdFusion however feels like it works backwards slightly. It hides all this upload information until you do the equilvalent of “move_uploaded_file” with “cffile action=upload”. All I’m showing in this blog post is how to get at some of that information, before you actually go and start moving some file, that you might not even want, around your server.

Your question, “Why ask CF for something it already does?” because I want it before I move a file. If CF had a GetUploadInfo function, I’d be a happy chappy!

Think of it this way, if you were eating dinner and didn’t have a knife, would you put the whole chicken in your mouth first and then decide it’s too big? Or would you look at it, realise it’s too big and ask for a knife next time?

So why ask for ColdFusion to give yo something that it does already?

Hmm, I don’t think you have read my blog post to well.

Sorry couldn’t resist. If you read my post you’ll spot that I’m doing this to avoid using cffile when I don’t have to. I know cffile will give me all the information I want, but it also moves the file. Maybe it’s because I came from PHP to ColdFusion but I want to know what’s going on before I move a file somewhere, as I’ll only have to delete it if it isn’t suitable.

I think we all know cffile will tell you this, but by then you’ve already moved the file haven’t you? Seems less intensive to just use GetFileInfo and then ignore it if it’s beyond your imposed limit.

Hmm, I don’t think you have read the documentation to well.

ColdFusion on every cffile upload has all the information in the scope cffile. And guess what the size is there for you to see, and I am going by memory but it has been there since it was introduced in ColdFusion 3
