Hi,
from a php script, using html <input type="file"..> trying to upload pdf files, pdf files with size 4 MB are uploaded successfully, but when trying to upload one with size 12 MB or more, it will not be uploaded. and the array ($_files) will be empty.

please if anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem, i'll be more than thankful.

Best Regards,

part of the code is attached

Please don't cross post.

Ok, no problem

You will have to attach the "pdf_check.php", because that code you attached doesn't tell us anything.

suzie

thank you for reply, i attached the pdf_check...

thanks a lot

I'm no expert, but try changing line 37 of pdf_check.php to this:

if (copy($_FILES["pdf"]["tmp_name"], $uploadfile))

Instead of...

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["pdf"]["tmp_name"], $uploadfile))

If it works with one file size, and not another, the problem is most likely due to restrictions in place.

Verify your php.ini has post_max_size and upload_max_filesize set to a high enough value. Be sure to restart your web service after editing php.ini.

It's also usually a good idea to put in some sanity checks like [man]is_uploaded_fileman and $_FILES['pdf']['error'] is 0. Otherwise PHP will tell you what's wrong 😉

if you don't have the access to php.ini, use phpinfo function to check the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize

thanks a lot for all of you, it works now with large pdf, after changing the post_max_size and the upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

Thank you very much..
