I'm using an upload script in php and I can't upload a file that is 12 MB. If I don't have access to the php.ini is there a way to get around the maximum upload size?
[man]ini_set/man http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php
So, I would do something like this?
ini_set('post_max_size', '16M'); ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '16M');
Where do I put it? In my upload.php file or in a different file? Do I do this only once or everytime I use the file? Thanks for the help.
[man]ini_set/man does not work for all PHP directives.
If you'll look in the appendix, you'll note that these two directives should be changed using a .htaccess file with php_value.
Here's where I'm at so far. I have the upload.php on my server at home where I can adjust the php.ini and I have it uploading to
[url]ftp://username:password@mywebsite.com[/url]
and it seems to work for smaller uploads.
I went and made the following changes:
upload_max_filesize 20M post_max_size 40M memory_limit 64M max_execution_time = -1 max_input_time -1
upload_max_filesize 20M
post_max_size 40M
memory_limit 64M
max_execution_time = -1
max_input_time -1
and it now seems like it works for larger uploads too!
Okay... so... what does this mean? Does this mean you've resolved the issue, or... what's your question?

youre absolutely right - thats why i sent both links. i figured it would be good to know about [man]ini_set/man at least.
Well, the code works and everything seems to be okay but I'm curious if there's a way to add some sort of X percent uploaded? Like some kind of progress indicator? These are such big files that it seems like the computer is freezing up.
