How can I upload a file in PHP large than about 2MB? - php

Question

I am trying to allow users to upload a max of a 2GB jar file with an HTML file input and PHP. The process works fine and it uploads the file, but only if it is small. I have set the php.ini to this:
max_execution_time = 10000
max_input_time = 10000
post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 2048M
After I did this it made all my php pages that has in it:
require_once("../include/config.php");
to load as a plain white page with NOTHING on it OR (SOMETIMES) it gives me this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare encodePassword() (previously declared in /home/duskfall/public_html/authentication/encode.php:2) in /home/duskfall/public_html/authentication/encode.php on line 80
On line 80 where it said it was is:
$coded = "";
Why would it do this when I only put 4 things in the php.ini. They are also the only 4 things when I created the php.ini file. It even does it when I put NOTHING in the php.ini file. Do I need to put some other things in the file?
How would I fix this problem. Or is there a better way to do it with the php.ini and make it effect just ONE php page?
EDIT: Also I am using the host godaddy.com on a linux server if that helps at all.

Before use post_max_size you must set memory_limit.
post_max_size depend of memory_limit, memory_limit is must be higher than post_max_size, not equal.
Also post_max_size must be higher than upload_max_filesize.
Use in php script:
echo ini_get("memory_limit")."\n";
ini_set("memory_limit","30M");
echo ini_get("memory_limit")."\n";
echo ini_get("post_max_size")."\n";
ini_set("post_max_size","20M");
echo ini_get("post_max_size")."\n";
echo ini_get("upload_max_filesize")."\n";
ini_set("upload_max_filesize","19M");
echo ini_get("upload_max_filesize")."\n";
Also:
I think you have a problem with your function encodePassword().
Try use new clear test files like:
test.html
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/path/to/your/phpscript" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>
test.php
$uploaddir = '/path/to/your/dir';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "Success.\n";
} else {
echo "Error!\n";
}
echo '<pre>';
echo 'Debug file:';
print_r($_FILES);
echo "</pre>";
