[Resolved] [Resolved] copy large file to server

[perpetualshaun]

I'm trying to copy a 3MB PhotoShop file to our web server, so that our client can download the file. But it continues to give me the error message and nothing get's copied to the server. Here's a snippet of my code that I'm using to try and copy to the server:

if($new_high_res_name != "") {
set_time_limit(300000000);
print "file: ".$new_high_res."<br>\n";
print "name: ".$new_high_res_name."<br>\n";
@copy($new_high_res, "".$virtual_path."high_res/".$new_high_res_name."") OR die ("Couldn't copy high_res to server!");
$high_res = $new_high_res_name;
}

And from the form, I have the following tags:

<input type="file" name="new_high_res" size="20" class="form_tags" />
<input type="hidden" name="max_file_size" value="99999999999" />

I am also copying other images to the server in the same form, and those are going through w/o a problem. It would seem that it is tied to the size of the file. When I try to submit this w/ the 3MB file I'm attempting to upload, it print the NAME of the file, but the file is empty.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Shaun

What's the upload_max_filesize on the server? PHP default is 2Mb, so that could be the problem. Also, drop the @ before the copy command so you can get error messages from that. Wouldn't hurt to throw an error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of the script too, just to see what kind of errors are occuring.

I'd predict the server's file upload size limit is set to 2mb and is bouncing your 3mb file upload. You'll need to talk to the server admin to see if they can bump that up for you in php.ini or you might be able to use .htaccess directives to work around it.

This thread has some info regarding .htaccess and some other work arounds:

That .htaccess file did the trick! Thanx!!
