Upload script file size limit

[stephenk]

I have made a little file upload script for images and was wondering if apache imposes some sort of upload size limit? It seems to be about 1.5mb. The script is for a client to add new pictures to the website, but I'm using GD to resize them, and so I would ideally like to be able to upload 5mb images (from digital camera).

Thanks for any help,
Stephen

Generally the default upload file size is 2mb. This can sometimes be changed in your php.ini file (if your host allows it).

try running the phpinfo() on your host. then look for upload_max_filesize

Lite...

ah ha!

Thanks very much for that. Im now using .htaccess to force it up to 5M.

Use google, search for:
5mb in kb
or similar.

You can't change upload_max_size on runtime, but you can check the size of an uploaded file. Something like this:

[code]if ($_FILES['file']['size'] >(1024 * 1024)) {
   echo 'File bigger than 1 MB!';
}[/code]

1024 bytes = 1 KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
