sort of timeout with multipart form

[Anon]

Hello

I'm using a multipart/form-data form with the post method to send information to a mysql database.

The information cosists of simple text fields describing images. The form also allows to upload the images themselves, but this is rarely done.

Now if I try to post too much information in one go, I get a "page cannot be found" error (so no php timeout error). Even though there aren't any images being uploaded, it still crashes. I tried it on my local server (instead of over the net) and it worked great, but on the internet it varies at times in how much data it can take before giving the error.

Is this some sort of maximum data issue, and has it got anything to do with the multipart/form-data? Can I fix this in PHP/Apache or should I just stick to uploading small batches at a time? Any help is greatfully received.

Thanks
