File upload issue (NOT max upload limit)

[webdreamer]

hi guys,

I am having a bit of bother with my upload script.

The script runs fine for small files, 5,6,7 meg but as soon as i use a file 30 meg it stops working.

Max upload limit is 50meg
max_execution_time is 2400 // 40 minutes
max_input_time is 2400

I adjusted these settings because my upload speed sucks and a 30 meg file takes the best part of 20 minutes to upload.

I have already spent the best part of today trying to figure this out but i am now at a loss and out of time.
Below is the script and does work for smaller files.

i don't know what else i can check

$upType     = $_GET['upType'];

Check you php.ini file. You might have to change the max_execution_time varaible and maybe some others.

[cougrhky20]

Also check the file upload section in php.ini, particularly if you have upload_max_filesize set.

[webdreamer]

I adjusted every piece that i was aware of. Thankfully another peep point out "post_max_upload" was set to 8meg.

[cougrhky20]

So, I'm taking it that everything is working ok now? good luck with the proj.

[whispers]

good to know.. I am about to work on an UPLOAD option as well was going to use FileReference.. does it have a limit?

I see you are using PHP? can this be used? Masked? to seamlessly let a user upload per chance? if FileReference does have size limits?

thanks

trying to get my ducks in a row before I start this project (and waste time)

[webdreamer]

1. Flash file upload has no limits
2. You need php to handle the upload request
3. You can set the size limit of files in flash before the upload starts

[whispers]

hmm.... I wonder what is correct? The LiveDocs say:

"Starts the upload of a file selected by a user to a remote server. Flash Player can upload files of up to 100 MB. You must call FileReference.browse() or FileReferenceList.browse() before calling this method."


So there is NO 100MB limit?..or there is?

[webdreamer]

If thats what the flash doc's say then that would be correct. I have never tried to upload a file of that size via flash. The largest file i have uploaded is 30mb.

Good to know.

[whispers]

hmm.... that seems ODD to have a 100MB limit?

Anyone know of a way around this??

[moh_design]

hi,

i don't think the flash was limit the upload size

i was test that with 400mb

u need to add some code for the server to let the script work for the max uploaded files limit

all u need is just an .htacess file put it in the root of your php script

php_value post_max_size 500M
php_value upload_max_filesize 500M

also u need to limit the time excution for the php script by add the code

set_time_limit(0);

let me know your result and hope that help

[webdreamer]

I/we are aware of the settings that need to be adjusted in the php.ini file but thanks for your input anyway.
400mb you have uploaded from flash?

[whispers]

OK... I know you have to use PHP as the backend to actually 'save' the file to the destination..

But the livedocs say 100MB.. If this "IS" in fact controlled by the default PHP.ini file.. I dont see how they can say there is a limit?

My next question is:

how many people can actually change their php.ini files?? People on a shared web hosting plan do not have access do they?

(Thanks)

[webdreamer]

php default installation sets upload at 2mb. I think you can change this during the execution of yuor upload script.


Peeps on shared hosting cant change the php.ini file. In most case's you would need to contact hosting admin.

[moh_design]

guys please read my post again

i don't talk about php.ini or to do any change for it

you have another way to set the max uploaded size by using the file

.htaccess

so [THIS] Settings will be controled by .htaccess file not by php.ini

and for webdreamer yes i was uploaded 400mb file successful by flash

try it guys

[whispers]

what are the entries you need to add/edit into the .htaccess file?

I have never made edits to it before..

(I also need to edit it to tell the server to parse all HTML pages as well so I can use regular #includes )

so this:

php_value post_max_size 500M
php_value upload_max_filesize 500M
set_time_limit(0);

is what goes in the .htaccess file?
thanks

[moh_design]

hi whispers

the .htaccess file makes rules for the root you add on

ex:
if u add the file into public_html the rules will be add to all the folder and files into your server

if u add the files into dir: public_html/upload/flash/

the rules will be add into just this root and the folder, files into.

the code

set_time_limit(0);

it's not for the .htaccess file

it's for your uploader script

<?php
set_time_limit(0);
//your code here

?>

this code'll makes script run forever until the uploaded file finish

[whispers]

Thanks.. so the first two lines ARE for the .htaccess file your comfirming?
