PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 From the manual http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html You can also get these errors if you send a query to the server that is incorrect or too large. If mysqld receives a packet that is too large or out of order, it assumes that something has gone wrong with the client and closes the connection. If you need big queries (for example, if you are working with big BLOB columns), you can increase the query limit by setting the server's max_allowed_packet variable, which has a default value of 1MB. If you cannot increase the setting, you should remember that - databases are not file storage engines. File systems should be used for storing files. Databases should be used for storing data.

anfo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 check the size of allowed uploads in the php.ini configuration file this might be set too low for your upload.

jzdexta Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The best way out is save the file in a folder and make an entry in the database this will ensure that even if you change servers there wont be a problem with this type of configuration.
