the server, so i can't change the php.ini file myself. is there a way to
get around this?

Re: file upload

If you mean the file you want to upload is bigger than that specified in the
php.ini file, you can't get around it from my knowledge.

Re: file upload

You might be able to do ini_set("upload _max_filesize", "50M");

you may also be able to use a .htaccess file, the contents of which may
look like this:

# php_value name value
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value upload_max_file size 50M
php_value max_execution_t ime 16666

This means your server isnt set up to use the .htaccess files. I
recall one server giving me a 500 error because of one part of the
htaccess but the rest was ok, so you could contact your host and ask
them about it.

There are ftp funcs in php, I havent used them. You could get a
standalone app for the client side that can ftp. Who are the end
users?

Re: file upload

there's another setting.
ini_set("post_m ax_size","50M") ;

I have heard of problems uploading when people didn't tinker with this one.
try it and see what happens.
