file size upto 2 GB

[anujgarg]

I want to enable my site to have uploaded files upto max. 2GB. What setting should I make in php.ini or htaccess for this?

2gb is large for a website upload may i ask what your allowing for uploads?

 

In your settings.php file:

 

ini_set('post_max_size', '8M');

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '8M');

 

In your .htaccess file:

 

php_value post_max_size 8M

php_value upload_max_filesize 8M

 

change 8m to  your amount in either case

 

also this should explain it better

Might want to do set_time_limit(0); as well.

good call i hadnt even thought about that

[anujgarg]

but set_time_limit is used to Limit the maximum execution time....how can it be used in maximum file upload? Please suggest....

I am not quite sure. All I remember is that I had to change it for an upload script. Just change it to 0 because you might timeout with a 2gb file

You do it'd take the average user until, roughly, the second coming to upload a 2gb file, right?

Not with 60mbps Fiber Optic, or a local network.

 

But that also depends on, if non-network, the speeds his server allows

 

The other issue though is browsers tend to timeout after 2-5 minutes of no data being received, which will prematurely kill your script.
