PHP Upload Script

[Janus13]

Is there a limit on the file size that PHP can upload?

I guess that would depend on your ini settings. I am not really sure that there is a cap out side of what it set in the php.ini .

Is there anyway I can test it?  when I upload a file less than 2M it uploads fine, but anything above that seems to timeout.

Put that in a file and name it phpinfo.php or something then upload and then browse to it. Look for the line that says "upload_max_filesize". That will tell you the maximum upload size set in your .ini

Also, if you are going to upload large files, you will also want to change the timeout settings. I suggestion that you use the php function [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php]ini_set[/url]. You can also use [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-get.php]ini_get[/url] to retrieve the value for a specific setting in the ini.

For instance, to see what your upload max is.. You can do something like this.

[code=php:0]
echo 'The upload_max_filesize is <b>' . ini_get('upload_max_filesize') . '</b><br />';
[/code]
