Upload timing out

[koolkat67]

I am using the move_uploaded_file command to upload some files but it seems as though my page times out while uploading.  this is not a file type problem because I am able to upload files on the same type but smaller.  I'm having problems with 7MB files even though my phpinfo says it can handle 50MB.  Is there some kind of timing out setting I can change somewhere or do I need to set up a progress bar?

try

<?php
set_time_limit(3600);
?>

[koolkat67]

that didn't work.  I really thought this was the ticket too

try increasing the 3600 to 3600000 or something,

negative

and my max_execution_time is set to 90 on my server which I have no control over.  its in the phpinfo file, the *.ini file.  Would this overtide the set_time_limit?

[MadTechie]

not sure myself

i think set_time_limit(0) will remove timeouts

[MadTechie]

oh you could try

 

1) Create a file called .htaccess in the same directory as your php script (this will apply to any php script that is in this directory).

 

2) and set "php_value max_execution_time 0" i think that works but i am no expert on .htaccess files

but atleast it a directions

i think im screwed, my server wont let me upload that file.  I'm so close I can taste it!!

If you have FTP, create a file called php.ini

Insert that code that sets the time limit.

 

That should be it, if you are forbidden to do that, then contact your host.
