MAX POST UPLOAD SIZE

[calum.mackenzie]

Hey, got a problem with a simple upload script. I want to upload files in many formats up to the size of 25Mb.

 

I have altered both php.ini files on my system to have

 

upload_max_filesize = 25M

max_execution_time = 600

memory_limit = 128M

max_input_time = 600

post_max_size = 25M

 

and added an .htaccess in the hope to get something larger than 2Mb through

 

php_value post_max_size 25M

php_value upload_max_filesize 25M

 

running phpinfo() reflects these changes

 

I have tried my code out on my two ubuntu rigs and both return an error 1 message, which means the uploaded file has exceeded the limit.

 

so more likely to be a code error, heres my upload.php file, this returns error code 1 when larger than 2Mb

 

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

 

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])){

//init variables default values

echo $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];

$type ="unknown";

$tags = "";

$type = "bin";

$author = "";

$time = time();

$description = $_POST['decrp'];

$author = $_POST['author'];

$tags = strtolower($_POST['tags']);

 

//get details from POST_FILES

$org_title = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'];

$size  = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['size'];

$mime_full  = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['type'];

 

 

//get clean title

$tmp_title = explode('.',$org_title);

$title = $tmp_title[0];

$title = trim($title);

$title = str_replace(" ", "_", "$title");

 

//get type and ext

$mime = explode('/',$mime_full);

$ext = end($mime);

$type = $mime[0];

echo "mime is ". $mime;

echo "mime 0 ". $mime[0];

echo "mime 1 ". $mime[1];

echo "mime 2 ". $mime[2];

 

//fix silly ms problems

if ($ext == "msword"){$ext = "doc";}

if ($ext == "vnd.ms-powerpoint"){$ext = "ppt";}

if ($ext == "vnd.ms-excel"){$ext = "xls";}

 

 

$new_location = "../files/".$type."/";

makeDirectory($new_location);

$new_location = $new_location.$time.".".$ext;

//move physical file

copy ($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $new_location)

  or die ("1ERROR: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['error']);

  //add to database

  $file_id = add_to_db($author, $title, $type, $ext, $size, $new_location, $description, $tags, $time);

 

  echo "<p>Upload of ".$title ." successful</p>";

  echo "<p><a href=\"../doc_upload.php\">add another file</a></p>";

}else{

echo "2ERROR: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['error'];

}

  }

 

 

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Could you post the actual phpinfo() output for those settings, showing both the master and local values.

 

Are the settings you posted exactly as you have entered them? For example, if you actually have MB or Mb, this is a syntax error and won't work.

 

Php has been known to display setting values but not actually use them when there are conflicts or syntax errors in the values. If you have access to the master php.ini (and have verified it is the one php is using), make your changes in it only (stop and start your web server to get any changes made to php.ini to take effect.)

 

You should only have one master php.ini.  If php is running as a CGI wrapper, then you can have a local php.ini in your document root folder. Php settings are only permitted in a .htaccess file when php is running as a server module and there is an AllowOverride setting that permits it.
