Splitting uploads up/ concatenating them back together

I am currently trying to write a simple PHP script that will split an


uploading file up into 500kb "chunks", then read and concatenate them


back together when accessed for download.  I can't seem to be able to


find a way to split the file purely in PHP while it is in the middle of


uploading using the move_uploaded_file function.


I am trying to get it to store the file like so:



MySong.mp3      3mb


gets uploaded to my server in this format:



   /uploads/MySong/1      500kb


   /uploads/MySong/2      500kb


   /uploads/MySong/3      500kb


   /uploads/MySong/4      500kb


   /uploads/MySong/5      500kb


   /uploads/MySong/6      500kb



Each of the "numbers" are the chunks that have been split up



Then the script to download reads these chunks and ECHOS them back out


to the as a single file (possibly even forcing a download by setting


the correct MIME type)



Is this possible at all with just PHP scripts?
