problems with uploading video

abman

i've been trying to upload reasonably large video files on my web space using php and html and i'm having trouble with it.... i've set the max_file_size to 16mb and i've done a $set_time_limit(3600)

basically i'm looking to upload around 4mb on average into a folder

when i try it on my localhost...it lets me upload large files perfectly and have no problems with it.

when i try it online it doesnt allow it to happen... so i chmoded the folder where the files get uploaded at to 777. now when i tested it i tried a 360kb mpeg file and it uploaded fine...but when i tried a 2mb mpeg file it doesnt upload... so i did a test to output the file name after uploading a file e.g print "File name: '$thefile_name' ";
now when i did this... the file name was blank.... can anybody help me with some suggestions or even solutions? thanks!

where did/how did you set the max file size

abman


$my_max_file_size= "16000000";

?>
<HTML>
<FORM bla bla bla>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value= "<? print "$my_max_file_size"; ?>">

etc etc...
