dprichard Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I posted this in the PHP forum and then thought I should have posted this in the MySQL forum. I created an upload script which works fine with smaller files. When I try to upload a larger file I get MySQL server has gone away. ??? I did a little research and saw that it may be the max_allowed_packet size on the MySQL server so I set it to 160000000, but I still get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

fenway Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 There are a number of tutorials on breaking up large files... best situation is not to store these in the DB, though.

dprichard Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Where do you draw the line for file size stored in a database? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67223-php-upload-mysql-server-has-gone-away/#findComment-337259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I actually never store anything in the DB, but definitely below 1MB. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67223-php-upload-mysql-server-has-gone-away/#findComment-337261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprichard Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well, I am trying to make a document manager in PHP and MySQL and I asked around in the forums and was told that to secure the documents that I should put them in the database versus the files system. I am using PHP 5 and MySQL 5.1 on Windows IIS 6. I want the documents to only be accessed by authorized users and am kinda new to hand coding (Versus using my old crutch Dreamweaver). Is there a better way to do this in the file system, yet still secure them versus putting them in the database? Thank you for any knowledge you can pass along!

fenway Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Depends whom you're trying to secure them against... anyone with root access will have access anyway. So how would anyone else "get at" the files, if they didn't know the path, which (obviously) to to a non-web accessible directory?
