upload script timing out?

[tbare]

hello.. when i try to upload a file larger than, say 3 MB, it seems as though my script times out... it takes a while, so it looks like it's uploading the entire thing, but when it should say "file uploaded successfully" i get "error: no files uploaded"

 

any ideas?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="update_humor_video.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="399999999999" />
<input name="category[]" type="radio" value="random" /> - random<br />
<input name="category[]" type="radio" value="whoseline" /> - whoseline<br />
<input name="category[]" type="radio" value="mac_ads" /> - mac_ads<br />
<input name="category[]" type="radio" value="snl" /> - SNL<br /><br />
Please choose a video file:<br /><input name="uploaded_video" type="file" /><br />
Please choose a thumbnail:<br /><input name="uploaded_thumb" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

Even though you are setting MAX_FILE_SIZE to something large enough for your file, php has two settings that will affect the maximum file size:  upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.  Both of these must also be set large enough to accommodate your file.

so i would need:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="399999999999" />
<input type="hidden" name="POST_MAX_SIZE" value="399999999999" />

?

 

update:

just tried w/ a 3.5 MB file and it didn't work

do i need to define the MAX_FILE_SIZE and POST_MAX_SIZE on the page that moves the files, as well?

[hitman6003]

php.ini....

 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size

[tbare]

is there a way to set these parameters using php? i don't have access to the files....

[PFMaBiSmAd]

They can be set in a .htaccess file (when php is running as an Apache module) or in a local php.ini file(when php is running as a CGI wrapper) provided the web host has allowed them to be changed.

[hitman6003]

You can also try ini_set, although I'm not entirely sure it will work with both directives.

[PFMaBiSmAd]

Both of the settings are only settable "PHP_INI_PERDIR" and are not settable in a script.

ok... so i would have to get a hold of the server admin and have him change the settings since i don't have access? or is there a way around that? i tried http://drupal.org/node/113220 this, but it didn't locate the php.cgi file, so no dice on it... any other ideas?

 

Thanks for all the help, guys!
