p>This howto will show you how to get those pesky PECL modules to compile in MAMP like uploadprogress or Xdebug. First a little Drupal background information. FileField and ImageField 3.0 for Drupal 6 released as one of many new features enables us to use the PHP extension uploadprogress that especially come in handy giving the user feedback of progress when uploading large files.
