dropfaith Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 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 http://blog.jc21.com/2007-05-03/change-the-maximum-upload-size-with-php/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143098-file-size-upto-2-gb/#findComment-750491 Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsbrimmer Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 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 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143098-file-size-upto-2-gb/#findComment-750699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 You do it'd take the average user until, roughly, the second coming to upload a 2gb file, right?

premiso Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 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.
