uploading file with large size

xxoulmate

i have uploading script.
limit in 2 mb
in php.ini 2mb also

when the size of file be upload is greater than 2 or less than 5 mb of course there's an error message return

but when the size of file to be upload is greater than let say 5 mb no error occurs it just refresh the page., when i try to simulate and look if submit is set, submit of form not detected too.
how can i trap that error

simplify your program to just the form and the validation check. Try again, if it happens again post the code.

I'm talking about a 10 line code, eliminate everything unnecessary and not related to the error.

here is my code:
php.ini config: maxfilesize = 2m

i set form MAX_FILE_SIZE to 2mb
when i upload a file below 5 mb., error occurs.
when i upload a file more than 5 mb no error occurs.,
when i check if form submitted success fully no "got here" message on my screen.

When you say, "error occurs", which error is it? Is it one of your errors or a PHP error? If it's a PHP error, please let us know exactly what it says.

Does "got here" get displayed ever?

I think that it's simply timing out. Have you increased your max execution time in your php.ini? What I think is happening is: When someone uploads something <5MB, the form is submitted with that file and then the file is analysed and rejected for being too big. When it is >5MB the form is not submitted because PHP times out before it can upload the whole file and send the form.

With PHP timeout, if a script is taking longer than x seconds, it will can it, and this is a security thing, so it's not good to set it too high or remove it incase someone who wanted to do you harm (or were just ignorant), blocks up your server with ridiculous requests which take forever to process.

Possible solutions...depends on the settings of the server.
and something that actually worked when upload_max_filesize failed was to put the following line in my .htaccess file:
