file uploads - sick as a parrot.

[saltious]

Morning all.

i am fairly annoyed.

i have been trying to geta file upload form function going for a while now but it keeps kicking me in the balls.

it works unless i try to upload anything greater than 2mb.

cos it only ever fails at 2mb or more it must be a setting. but it seems to eb a very illusive setting.

i have changed upload_max_filesize to = 24MB (should this be 24MB or 24000000).

heres my form code

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="24000000" />
<span class="style1">Attach a Document/Screen Grab?: </span>&nbsp;<input name="uploadedfile" type="file" />

then heres my process code

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
$FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

if(move_uploaded_file($FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "";
}

like i said it works great till i breach the 2mb mark.

i would also like to know how to change the file name to a variable of my choice (if anyone knows how to do this please also answer).

so...... does anyone have any ideas what ive missed.

many many many thanks in advance.

you're all really cool!

Then it won't work at all, the manual says

A few PHP directives may also take on shorthand byte values, as opposed to only integer byte values. What are all the available shorthand byte options? And can I use these outside of php.ini?

The available options are K (for Kilobytes), M (for Megabytes) and G (for Gigabytes; available since PHP 5.1.0), these are case insensitive. Anything else assumes bytes. 1M equals one Megabyte or 1048576 bytes. 1K equals one Kilobyte or 1024 bytes. You may not use these shorthand notations outside of php.ini, instead use an integer value of bytes. See the ini_get() documentation for an example on how to convert these values.

You could always try to read the manual about this, there is a wealth of info there. Including the answers to your questions.
