[Devang]

Hello,
I am using php script to upload file.
some times if file size is too big(1GB) it takes too much time to
upload.
Can someone suggest me the way to increase upload speed.

thanks

Read Tannenbaum's book on computer networks. In particular, that bit about
the bandwidth of a train hopper full of tapes.

Get a faster link.

PHP isn't what's slowing you down; it only gets involved once the file
has been uploaded.

I'm surprised it works at all. Despite my preious arguments regarding
HTTP over FTP, in this case I'd look for some way other than HTTP
uplaod to transfer such files (but NOT FTP!!!!!)

ftp would be the fastest way to do it. But that wasn't his question.

Given the OP's statement regarding the size of files involved (over a
gig) I think the choice of protocol is not going to be an enormous
help.

To the OP, there is nothing you can do in PHP to improve your
situation, the PHP script won't even start to execute until the file
upload is complete or fails. The only way to get faster uploads is to
fork out for a faster net connection, and for a faster net connection
for the server if that's not fast enough to keep up.

Yes. There is no especial reason that FTP would be faster than HTTP
either: Any speed issues would be down to the FTP server versus the HTTP
server, which are both sucking bytes and pumping them into some form of
temporary storage via a TCP connection. However the web server may be
interpreting the data stream as it comes in. And PHP may do the same.

If the user is on ADSL, or another asymmetrical protocol, it will be far
slower to upload as well.

Actually, there is. HTTP adds some extra bytes to each transmission
that ftp doesn't. So ftp would be more efficient and faster. Not much,
I grant you. But on a 1GB file it's possible it would be noticeable.

Thank you all for your views

One thing i want to tell is that,
I have made following changes to php.ini file for application specific
purpose.

Upload_max_filesize=2047MB
post_max_size= 2047MB

I am uploading file to apache web server.
So what I should do now to speed up my uploading process (when file
size is 1GB or more)

Read the answers already provided. Then understand this has NOTHING to
do with PHP.

Increase your TCP window scaling and keep your fingers crossed you
don't have a broken router between client and server.
