Allowing larger upload file

[ponies3387]

Im having issues allowing a larger upload file size. I would like to allow 5mbs, the script below allows 2mb right? So ive tried changing the number to 3000000, 4000000, 5000000, but it wont allow the jpeg file im sending that is 2.22mb, it will allow a file that is 1.8mb, but even though I change the "if( $upload_Size >2000000)" to "if( $upload_Size >3000000)", and re-transfer it to my server it still doesnt work. Im not sure how to check what my server allows, I think this might be the right information:

 

Bandwidth Allotment:

250,000 MB

Diskspace Allotment:

5,000 MB

 

but im not sure. So im thinking maybe theres another way I can allow this change? or maybe i need to do more to the script than just change the number???

 

 

 // CHANGE THIS TO A HIGHER OR LOWER VALUE - REMEMBER HOSTING LIMITS
if( $upload_Size >2000000)
//--------
{
unlink($upload_Temp);
die("<p align='center'><b><font face='Arial Black' size='2' color='#FF0000'>ERROR<br>YOUR FILE WAS NOT UPLOADED<br>PLEASE CHECK THE FILE SIZE AND FORMAT</font></b></p>");
}
if( $upload_Mime_Type != "image/cgm" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/g3fax" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/gif" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/ief" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/pjpeg" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/jpeg" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/naplps" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/png" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/prs.btif" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/prs.pti" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/tiff" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.cns.inf2" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.dwg" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.dxf" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.fastbidsheet" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.fpx" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.fst" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.fujixerox.edmics-mmr" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.fujixerox.edmics-rlc" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.mix" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.net-fpx" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.svf" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.wap.wbmp" AND $upload_Mime_Type != "image/vnd.xiff" )
{
unlink($upload_Temp);
die("<p align='center'><b><font face='Arial Black' size='2' color='#FF0000'>ERROR<br>YOUR FILE WAS NOT UPLOADED<br>PLEASE CHECK THE FILE SIZE AND FORMAT</font></b></p>");
}
$uploadFile = "uploads/".$upload_Name ;
if (!is_dir(dirname($uploadFile)))
  {
    @RecursiveMkdir(dirname($uploadFile)); 
  }
else
  {
  @chmod(dirname($uploadFile), 0777);
  }
@move_uploaded_file( $upload_Temp , $uploadFile); 
chmod($uploadFile, 0644);

 

oh and, thats not the full code, just a snipet that had to do with the file size, I didnt see any other part of the script related to uploading.

Is this on your own development server or have you got this up on live webhosting?  I know my host, Dreamhost, limits file uploads to 2mb.  I think you have to use perl to get around it.

my hosting server is with godaddy, im not sure how to find out what the limit is... maybe then I could change it

[JacobYaYa]

some info

 

also try adding the below lines to .htaccess

php_value post_max_size 8M
php_value upload_max_filesize 8M

 

[ponies3387]

apparently, they do not set any limit lower than 8mb, so I should be fine. Therefore, there must be something wrong with the way im changing the code, any suggestions?

I also had this issue with a godaddy account. What I did was add a custom php.ini file in my root directory. You can specify your own upload limits then.

thats sounds like a good idea, but can u be more specific? What do I write into the file and do I put it into a certain directory?

1KB = 1024

1MB = 1024 / 1024

 

Therefore, do something like

 

<?php

function fileSize() {
  $filesize = $_FILES['file']['size'];
  $filesize = $filesize / (1024 / 1024);

  if($filesize >= 5) {
    echo 'Your file is larger than 5MB';
  } else {
    echo 'Your filesize is below 5MB';
  }
}
?>

1KB = 1024

1MB = 1024 / 1024

 

Therefore, do something like

 

<?php

function fileSize() {
  $filesize = $_FILES['file']['size'];
  $filesize = $filesize / (1024 / 1024);
  $filesize = floor($filesize);

  if($filesize >= 5) {
    echo 'Your file is larger than 5MB';
  } else {
    echo 'Your filesize is below 5MB';
  }
}
?>

 

Try that even
