Re: Large file upload

At www.php.net someone writes:
"When uploading very large files (greater than the default 8M) I found
that I had alter not only the "max_file_size" input and the php.ini
max_file_size limit, but ALSO the "post_max_size" variable in the php.ini
file.

Because I was submitting the file via a POST request, it would hit this
limit and deny the upload."

If that still doesn't help you might consider telling us what error
messages you are getting.

Subject: Re: [PHP] Large file upload

Hi,

The upload takes more than 30 seconds, but I get the error immediately. I
dont think that the webserver is aware of the page will take longer than
30
seconds to upload and therefore sends an error at the beginning of the
upload.

Kelvin :-)

If it's taking longer than about 25-30 seconds you could be timing out.
Try putting set_time_limit(0) at the top of the script. If it works you
might want to try replacing the 0 with a reasonable time limit. The time
is in seconds.
