Uploading large files

[RT]

Hi

I have an application in which the client is allowed to upload files, some
of these files can be as large as 20 megs in size. I have increased the
php.ini max file size to 50meg and we have increased the apache timeout out
to 10 minutes yet I can¹t even get a 12 meg file to upload.


Does any one know the limitation on file uploads for php or is there another
setting I need to change in the php.ini file.

Thanks

Here's what I have set for mine:

post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_file size = 200M
session.gc_maxl ifetime = 18000

I just saw a 164M file come in yesterday. I didn't make any changes to
apache itself, just the php.ini file.

Re: Uploading large files

What you need to do is include the following in your php.ini (which needs to
be in the same level as the php form you¹re using) :

upload_max_file size = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

The post_max_size = xxxM allows the form to process the files to the limits
set.

Probably not the answer you wanted, but I would have thought that FTP
rather than HTTP would be better because it is possible to get progress
feedback which is not available using web pages. Since these files are
large you're not talking casual users here so making them 'invest' in
the proper tool for the job or making the effort to provide it doesn't
seem unreasonable.

I tried those and others:
max_execution_t ime = 666600
max_input_time = 666600
memory_limit = 666M
post_max_size = 666M
upload_max_file size = 666M
session.gc_maxl ifetime = 22333

I never get a php error, but eventually, i get a 500 internal server
error. Last couple trys, the files (pictures, as many as 10, .7-2 megs
each) were actually uploaded, but not all of them were resized (they
hit a resize function after they are upped.) So, that was wierd.

anyway, the 500 error means what to me? some max execution setting in
apache? hopefully one that can be overridden with .htaccess.

insight appreciated, thanks.
