uploading files > 2M

[icemandesigns]

Hi, I've made a script to upload files to a remote ftp server, but it seems that I cannot upload files > 2Meg even tho I have set these values in the script:

$result = ini_set("display_errors","1");
$result = ini_set("upload_max_filesize","50M");
$result = ini_set("max_execution_time","3000");
$result = ini_set("auto_append_file","1");
$result = ini_set("post_max_size","50M");

only problem is when i check phpinfo() it only changes the local values not the master values so the master value for upload_max_filesize = 2M still, could this be the problem?

here's some values for the phpinfo
post_max_size 8M 8M

create an .htaccess file and add this to it:

php_value upload_max_filesize XXXX

replace the XXXX with the max size and upload the .htaccess to your webroot.

I actually had the same problem when I was setting up my forums. There are 3 places that limit the size of files PHP will process:

in php.ini

post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

and the thrid place (if you're using apache) is either in your httpd.conf of php.conf (/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf for me)

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 8388608
</Files>

The LimitRequestBody was initially set to 2 megs (in bytes). The above figure is for roughly 8 megs.

Hope it helps.

most people do not have access to apache config / php.ini

the alternative i posted above works.

Thanks for the help guys. Seby this is the .htaccess file i have created so the max filesize is 50M:

php_value upload_max_filesize 50000000

I am not very familiar with them am I supposed to put something else in there?
The upload still didn't work for files over 2M.
I ran phpinfo() and the Master value for upload_max_filesize is still 2M

Could just email your host and ask them if they could possibly raise the limit! 😉
