SuperMach1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have been working on an upload script lately and the max upload is 8mb. I have found that you need to change the php.ini file. Well with godaddy they dont give you access to this file. Is there any alternatives to this? I really need to get this change to a much larger number.ThanksMach Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19446-phpini-with-godaddy-hosting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMach1 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 I was looking here http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php and one guy said.."Many settings, although they do get set, have no influence in your script.... like upload_max_filesize will get set but uploaded files are already passed to your PHP script before the settings are changed.Also other settings, set by ini_set(), may be to late because of this (post_max_size etc.).beware, try settings thru php.ini or .htaccess."Is this true? and I couldnt quite figure out how to make a php.ini file :-[ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19446-phpini-with-godaddy-hosting/#findComment-84472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Ummm, sorry, but I've never had to find a way around that since I host my own server on my computer and have direct access to my php.ini file...

onlyican Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 It is very rare for Shared hosting to allow you access to the php.ini fileSimple reason being, the php.ini is set for all people on that server.using MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE can set a max upload size, but the one set in php.ini comes firstso if php.ini is set to 8MB (standard) and you set MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE to 10MBThe limit is 8MBAgain, if php.ini is set to 8MB, and you set MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE to 4.Then the max upload size is 4 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19446-phpini-with-godaddy-hosting/#findComment-84770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMach1 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 With the way Godaddy works, if you have a certain hosting plan you can create your own php.ini file. I did that and got the sizes changed but now they keep timing out or something."This document contains no data."I believe thats what it says when I test upload a largge file.Am I missing something?

onlyican Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Remember if your changing the Upload Size, you want to change the Time Out lengthin the php_ini file, you have a set time that a script will execute before dying Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19446-phpini-with-godaddy-hosting/#findComment-85116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
