    I doubt that you can do this but I am going to ask anyway. Is the a way to store the files onto a server that does not have PHP. Then I can set up the PHP on my PHP/MySQL server and then make it store the files on another larger server that doesn't have PHP set up on it.

    Just tell me if this is possible and if it is how I might go about doing it.

      There are many ways of doing this in a Unix environment.  My personal suggestion would be to use NFS.  You run the NFS server on the machine that will store the files, and export a share.  Then on the client running PHP, you just use NFS to mount the share into public_html.  You will also have to put the .php and .inc files on the share.  NFS is supported at the kernel level, so PHP and PHPWebhosting don't need to know how the files are being accessed, just so long as they are.

      For more information on NFS, look at the man pages.

      Hope this helps,
