upload file limit

Anon

Hello,
I'm working on a linux box (Redhat 7.1) with php 4.0.6 and I'm trying to send a big file with a script. I tried to change my upload_max_filesize (25M) and execution_time 300) vars in the php.ini file but when I read the vars with a phpinfo() they still at 2M and 30. If the size of the file is less than 2M, I can see it on the server and my script gives me the name and the size of the file but with a 13M file, I can only see the name, the size is always 0...
What can I do to send a 13M file to my server?

Thanks
J-C

Did you restart the server?

Can you see if there is a file limitation on your firewall as well....

there is no limitation on my firewall and I restarted the server

And you still see the 2meg limitation via phpinfo()? I dunno, that seems to suggest one of three things:

Check the php.ini file again to make sure the values you want are set.
Is it possible your editting the wrong php.ini file?
I lied, there's only 2 😉

1) in the php.ini file, the values are set as I want: upload_max_filesize 25M and execution_time 300
2) there is only one php.ini and it's in /etc/
it seems my server uses another file to find the values... I tried to use the ini_set and ini_alter functions but it only change the local value in the phpinfo, not the master values...
I had no post_max_size in the php.ini, so I added post_max_size 25M but in the phpinfo, the value is 8M and the file isn't sent...

Ok, can you run phpinfo() or ini_get_all() to see exactly which php.ini file is being called? I'm not quite following you about the 8m statemnet, are you saying the max increased? IF so, how?
