upload timeout

[Anarchatos]

Hi,

 

I currently have an upload script running on my website which works perfectly fine, but whenever I try to upload a relatively large file the server times out and cancels the upload. Some of my members have to be able to upload files up to 150mb.

 

I searched a bit and the only thing I found out is that I probably have to edit the php.ini (which my host will have to do since they won't let me).

 

My question is: is there any other way to prevent the timeout? (without editing the php.ini)

use this

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '250M');  

 

and maybe

ini_set('max_execution_time', '300');
