php upload file limit
Hi guys.. I got script which lets you upload files. On the demo page of the vendor it works great with large files. In my case, if the file is over 18 mb it stops responding.
I've tried adding these lines to the .htaccess files but with not luck.. any ideas?
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 150M
php_value memory_limit 32M
php_value max_execution_time 600
any ideas?
thanks

I don't know for sure, but I'm betting that your host is preventing you from uploading something that big from a PHP form. Write
<?phpphpinfo();
?>

Hi Teammatt3
it's set to
upload_max_filesize 100M 2M
and my uploads stop at 18.47mb exactly.
weird

The master upload_max_filesize is 2M (the right column). Since you created the htaccess file, it set the local max_upload_filezie to 100M. You can't override the master PHP settings without root access.
*I think that's right*

I think master setting does not come into effect if you have overwritten local settings.
The reason I am saying this is that my server only allowed me to upload 2MB and I have overwritten it by placing php.ini in my folder with max limit to 50MB.
Now for some reason I can also only upload upto 18MB. I cannot upload anything above 18MB.
May be after 18MB there is someother configuration variable that come into play which we are not aware of yet.

you need to speak with your server host first. Find out what the maximum they allow per file is.
is it dedicated/shared?
this 18.47MB you mention, is this by any chance a recording of the bandwidth data transfer?
as data storage is 1024KB=1MB
whereas bandwidth is 1000KB=1MB
which would mean you actually have a limit of 18MB on hard disk and 18.47 would be 'about' correct for bandwidth (1024MB x 18)

You mean (1024KB x 18), right?
If your version of PHP was compiled as a CGI module, and not an Apache module (most likely), then you can't change your settings from a .htaccess file. Your host must allow you to have your own php.ini file. If you have PHP 5.2 or higher, place the following line in a file and name it php.ini.
upload_max_filesize = 100Mpost_max_size = 100M
Also, you may be able to use the ini_set() function to change the values at runtime. See this page for more information.
