Cannot upload large files

Hi

I have an app, where I should upload files...
Problem: when e.g. uploading 14MB (just 10MB) the page will load, then
go back to the original page.... by some reason I cannot upload large
files, larger than some 5 MB.

I cannot get any information it looks like my server just reloads the
original page.

Any ideas?

What does phpinfo() tell you about maximum upload size?

There's an option in your php.ini named: upload_max_file size
(see: http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php)

Got it - it says 12M(b). I'll look for a way to prompt that to the
user, and how to change that.

if($_FILES['keyname']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_INI_ SIZE) //alert user
and how to change that.
It's PHP_INI_PERDIR afaik, so php.ini, webserver configuration, and in the
case of Apache, .htaccess files.

holds on failure?

Got it - it says 12M(b). I'll look for a way to prompt that to the
user,

if($_FILES['keyname']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_INI_ SIZE) //alert user
That is, of course, if post_max_size hasn't been exceeded as well.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.cor....post-max-size

If memory serves, the script loading will be aborted if the POST data
size is over the allowed size.

I really see my problem now - but my system is hosted at one.com,
where my client holds their stuff. I was just looking at/trying
ini_set, but that failed. Since I am new to this - can I change these
values in any way?

Or can I at least read these out, so I can inform the user of the max
file size?

php_info echoes it all right way...

In principle there's a simple solution whereby the user runs

Hi, I am writing an ASP.NET project where I allow users to upload files to the server. I have changed to web.config to allow a total file size of 100MB. My problem is that if the total file size exceed this amount the page simply stops works, and I get a "Server unreachable" error. Is there any way to handle this, so I am able to present the user with a nice error message telling him that the maximum file size has been exceeded.

Hello, I have an ASP.NET webpage that uses an instance of System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile for uploading files to our server. I came across the documentation at MSDN for upping the filesize limit, once I saw the behavior of the page bombing with files bigger than 4 MB. So far so good. But the situation I'm coming across is that there doesn't seem to be an elegant way of recovering from a user attempting to upload files

Hi: I'm using the HTML File Field control as a file picker for uploading files to a SQl Server image field. When page posts back to initiate upload, if file is small (under about two megs) all is well. However, when I select a large file, the default IIS "Cannot find server" page is immediately returned. Weird??? Thanks, Charlie

Hi, I need some recommendations for uploading files to the server. Right now I have a php script that uses ftp to upload, download, and delete files, and everything works fine for small files. However, the original purpose for this script was to be able to upload large files (100 - 200 MB). The problem is that the request times out. Now I'm a php noob so I don't know if the problem is my internet connection, my host's bandwidth, or both....
