max uploaded file size

[rubing]

I am trying to upload files to my server (shared hosting).  The size limit for uploaded files is 2M (default).  Well, of course I am super greedy and want to upload HUGE files!!!  

 

so, I tried amending the max size permitted as follows:

ini_set ('upload_max_filesize','25M');

 

Yet this has no effect.  Any suggestions?

if ($uploaded_size > 350000)

{

echo "Your file is too large.<br>";

}

No, dezkit, he doesn't want to restrict the file size in the script, but he wants to raise his limits.

 

Check out the max post data directive too, I forgot the exact name though.

OK, so I changed it as follows:

ini_set ('upload_max_filesize','25M');
ini_set('post_max_size','25M');

 

Yet, this still doesn't work! (only on smaller files)  here are the errors i get:

Array ( [uploadedfile] => Array ( [name] => 01-Kushee Maanao-Aural Mix-Solace.mp3 [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 1 => 0 ) )

that's not an error lol

[DarkWater]

Yes it is.  $_FILES['uploadedfile']['error'] is equal to 1, which refers to an exceeded upload_max_filesize.

The errors are not sent to std err for file uploading.  They are contained in the array. [error]=>1

[DarkWater]

Indeed.  The best you can do is live with your host's PHP settings or get a different host at this point.

OK. I'm fine with that.  As long as I have someone to blame other than PHP.

First of all, the settings you are trying to change using ini_set() statements cannot be changed in your script (please check the php manual for where any particular setting can be changed.)

 

You can set these in a .htaccess file (when php is running as an Apache module) or in a local php.ini file (when php is running as a CGI wrapper) AND the host has allowed those particular settings to be changed.
