Uploading Large File

Anon

I am trying to upload a large zip file (69M😎 to the server by using a PHP script. My script works fine for the 12MB files, but when I select the 69MB file the script appears to run for a minute then either returns a DNS error or simply stops and remains on the same page. I am currently using PHP 3.0.16 for win32. My code for copying the file is as follows:

if (copy($filename, "uploaded/".$filename_name)) {
	echo("<B>File successfully copied!</B>");
} else {
	echo("<B>Error: failed to copy file...</B>");
}
unlink($filename);

I've adjusted the php3.ini parameters as follows:

max_execution_time = 600
upload_max_filesize = 104857600

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions that might resolve this problem?

You also have an absolute limit that is specified in PHPx.INI
that needs to be changed.

Anon

Thanks, but I'm not sure which parameter you are referring to in the PHP3.ini file. Are you referring to the "memory_limit" under the "Resource Limits" heading? If you are, I've already tried that, and it didn't seem to work.

There is a upload files limit.And modify it is ok!The default var is 1024KB.

I've already changed the "upload_max_filesize" to "104857600" (100M😎, but this still doesn't seem to correct the problem.

Hi,the default is 2MB,I am sorry to say 1Mb.I dont know where is your PHP.ini.The place you put maybe incorrect.I you try again.Under M$ Windows,put it in system directory.OK,that is all I can.Good luck.🙂

what about zipping the file before you upload it and running in a cmd shell through php tyhe unzip program e.i. pkunzip or winzip or in linux unzip? -Jon

As I said in my first message, I am able to get a file of about 12 MB to upload correctly. I've done further testing and that seems to be the limit. Anything over that and the problems occur. My php.ini file is located in the Windows directory as per the install instructions.

Jon,
The file is zipped already. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I think the max upload files size has affected by the machine or PHP core.You can aslo try to use PHP4.0.3 to test,or ask the php.net.Good luck!
