cant upload large imgage

[PeggyBuckham]

I want to allow for a user to upload any photo that they might have taken from their camera. I can't get photo's with large file sizes to upload. I have changed the setting in the php5.ini and set the settings extremely high. This has always worked for me before. I also have changed the code on the form.

 

<input  type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="99000000" />

 

here is the code for the php5.ini

 

register_globals = on

allow_url_fopen = on

expose_php = Off

max_input_time = 500

variables_order = "EGPCS"

extension_dir = ./

upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

precision = 12

SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net

url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/ZendExtensionManager.so

zend_extension=/usr/local/zo/4_3/ZendOptimizer.so

register_long_arrays = on

max_file_uploads = 8M

post_max_size = 8M

 

 

Maybe the problem is not in the php5.ini ?

have you changed the max upload size in apache?

 

if you have and it still doesn't work, or you don't have access to apache, you might have to do this via ftp

Create a little .php file with

Run it, and look for what it says the values of max_file_uploads and post_max_size are.

[PeggyBuckham]

okay I am sort of new at this what apache? I sure that it is running on a lynx  server.

[PeggyBuckham]

i already made with phpinfo();

[jdavidbakr]

Create a little .php file with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Run it, and look for what it says the values of max_file_uploads and post_max_size are.

 

I think requinix is right - there are two values you need to change in php.ini: upload_max_filesize and post_max_size

[PeggyBuckham]

I have made a page with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

the result reads:

max_file_uploads=8M

post_max_size=8M

 

Anybody have another idea?

 

 

 

[jdavidbakr]

Hm, can you find the threshold where it breaks?  I.e, does it work with a 3MB file but not with a 4MB file?

 

Try a var_dump($_FILES) on the submission form script to see if you get any clues.

[The Little Guy]

It is probably Apache, which I don't know how to modify, so I would suggest using FTP like I posted above, which will get past the Apache thing.

 

<?php
$file = 'somefile.txt';
$remote_file = 'readme.txt';

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// upload a file
if (ftp_put($conn_id, $remote_file, $file, FTP_BINARY)) {
echo "successfully uploaded $file\n";
} else {
echo "There was a problem while uploading $file\n";
}

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

if the upload is taking a long time, check max_input_time and max_execution_time. the script might stop running before the upload is done.

In answer to jdavidbakr

The upload breaks at 2MB. 1.9MB works and 2.1MB does not. I'm pretty sure that that is the default right? So I think I will call the tec people at GoDaddy becousse that is where it is hosted. My guess is that it is not reading the php5.ini right even though the information generated from the phpinfo(); said differently.

 

[requinix]

8M for the master value or the local value? The local one is what matters.

 

But yeah, GoDaddy...

Problem solved Yea Godaddy. They disabled my php5.ini  and now it works. I thought I had to use php5.ini instead on php.in. Not really sure about all of that just glad it works and they were really helpful
