Large File Uploads with PHP4 and IIS4

[Anon]

Hey All!

I've gotta build a piece of code that will allow a user to upload a large zip file through the web (I know, I know, FTP, but apparently that's too difficult for some of our users).

Anyway, I've got it setup and it works, but only for files smaller than a certain size (seems around 2mb).

I've done the php.ini change up to 300M.

I've put the hidden input into the form like: <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="307200000" />

I've set the timeout to be like 30 minutes as the default for the php server.

And still I got nothin. When the user tries to upload a big file the page posts and returns to the same page as it was just on, like the post got rejected or something. On NT boxes the page looks for the page to post to but after about ten seconds errors out and tells me the page doesn't exist.

At this point I'm wondering if its something stupid like a setting in IIS or a problem with our Firewall. Any ideas? I really appreciate your time!

Thanks,
Jonah

Nevermind, found the answer to my own question.

For future use:

in the PHP.ini file
post_max_size =

should be set to be greater than whatever size the maximum file upload size is.
