Can COPY skip a header line?

Following on from my question yesterday... Can COPY then be made to skip a
header line (the first line of the file say)?

The problem is this... I need to allow a user to upload a data file through
a web browser (PHP driven). This is then processed and the selected file
columns mapped to fields in a database, and then the data file uploaded. I
can do this fine with small files.... But if I get above a 1000 rows it
takes so long it time out.

I can upload a 10,000 row equivalent file using COPY from psql in 2 seconds,
so the time is down to the PHP processing (really all it does is send itto
pg_put_Line)

I liked Toms idea to create a temporary table, but I need to be able to get
rid of the header row then... Is there anyway of avoiding getting PHP
involved in the file processing?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Adam
