PHP upload - max file size

Sniipe · 19-06-2005 06:03PM #1

I want to upload files about 20 meg or bigger onto my server using PHP. I have the upload working but cannot get large files uploaded.

In the html form I have

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="20000" />

In the php.ini file on the server I have

upload_max_filesize = 20M

and

post_max_size = 20M

and

memory_limit = 128M

Is there something else I'm missing?
I get an error code of 2 which tells me there is a problem with MAX_FILE_SIZE.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Have you got the hidden field before the upload field?

Obvious question, but have you restarted apache?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
       <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000" />
        Upload: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

And I've restarted apache

Still no joy.

Ask your hosting company to help you

You may want to up your max_Execution_time. It's also possible for Apache to limit this, as far as I know; have a look at your conf file.

True.
If you up the error reporting to something more verbose it might give you more useful information.

Thats 20,000 bytes.

The error message you are getting is entirely correct.

Thank you so much hostyle. For some reason I thought it was KB. That did the job. Thanks again.

Unless your users all have unreasonably fast internet connections you should probably still raise the execution time...

thanks rsynnott,
I'm just playing around with PHP on localhost. I wanted to be able to do upload properly. Thanks 4 the help all. I'll keep max_Execution_time in mind tho.
