I've a file upload script on my site. I just now used it to upload a
small text document (10k). Everything worked fine.
Then I tried to upload a 5.3 meg Quicktime video.
Didn't work.
I've set the POST limit in php.ini to 8 megs.
What reasons, other than the POST limit, would a large upload fail?

5 megs of binary data will be sent as a lot more than that of (base 64
encoded?) ascii data.
Try doubling your limit and see if it magically works.

Check also your script time-out limit. Your long upload might be taking
too long? jo*********@sbc global.net says... lawrence k wrote:

If you're using PHP on Apache check that the httpd.conf settings aren't
lower than your PHP settings.

File uploads are not base64 encoded, they are sent pretty much raw using
multipart/form-data. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/...ml#h-17.13.4.2
A 5MB file will take 5MB plus a few bytes overhead for headers.

What error did you get? You checked for errors and have error reporting turned
on, right?

Various. Almost all of which produce errors, either in the form of PHP errors,
Apache errors or the field in $_FILES.

Sorry, here is what is happening. If, in FireFox 1.5, I login to the
control panel, and I try to upload a small jpeg image, 234k, it uploads
without a problem. If, on the other hand, I try to upload an 8 meg PDS
file, I instantly (no attempt at upload) get this FireFox message:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
In Internet Explorer, uploading the small file is no trouble, but
uploading the big one gives me this:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust
your browser settings.
Following the advice of others on this thread we (or rather, Matt
Clark, our Linux guy) have edited the php.ini file to allow 50 meg
uploads. We also looked through the config file for Apache and saw
nothing there that might have limited uploads. But the problem
persists.
What error did you get? You checked for errors and have error reporting turned
on, right?
I'm not sure, but I don't think I have access to the errors on the
server. I'm sure Matt does though, so I'll ask him to send me these
logs.

Our Linux guy, Matt Clark, checked for errors. He said there were no
errors in the PHP log.
if you're uploading to a database, are you using MEDIUMBLOB or LONGBLOB for
a data type?

That's one log down, then. What about the others?

We are receiving an error 'The operation has timed out' when our ASP.NET

how can we throttle/control the transfer rate to see that we are within the
