File size porblem

g7ibby

Im attempting to run a script to upload files that can be as much as 60MB in size. Ive used copy and ftp function and have gotten the same errors or the browser returns "Cannot find server" It has worked for a file at about 4.5 MB But when I try to upload a file at 8 megs I get the same thing.

I have edited the php.ini file and set the upload_max_filesize to 60MB. I also set the max_execution_time to 600. That helped me get the 4.5 meg file up but why cant I get anything bigger in there?

To make it more fun there is not a line for post_max_size in the php.ini but its showing up in my phpinfo() Ive used ini_set("post_max_size", "62914560"); But this isnt helping.

Does anybody know where the post_max_size is? Or is this my problem at all?

How long does it take to upload the 4.5mb file? I'm taking a guess you looked into this, but you're sure your set_timeout is long enough, right?

Also, the "max_execution_time" time is in php.ini, right? If so, you've set it so EVERY script won't time out until 10 minutes have passed. Is this what you really want to do? I'd recommend just using set_timeout localling in the script that needs more time and leave the default 30 seconds for all your other scripts (handy for those times you accidentally write an infinite loop).

Well i plan on setting the max execution time back after i find whats giving me the errors. Im just trying to eliminate that as a possibility. Ill then use a setini() to take care of it on a per script basis. Also Im using PHP 4.1.2 so ftp_set_timeout wont work for me.

Well i plan on setting the max execution time back after i find whats giving me the errors.

Would this be beneficial? I mean if you are wanting to upload a freakin large 60MB file, and the script needs to run in order to do so, then I think if anything you will need to set the time up higher. But I would do this the way AstroTeg mentioned, that way it only goes with the one script.

Well i just tried setting it to 1200 in the php.ini file but after 20 seconds of so it returns "Page cannot be displayed" This is still with a 9meg file.
