My host is on a shared server so therefore i cannot change the php.ini. My goal is to upload files of upto 100mb but the servers upload_max_filesize is set to 6mb which i cannot change..
My quetsion is, is it possible to bypass this by uploading in chunks using something like https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload?
Many thanks in advance.
Ok I've now figured it..
By default chunking is not enabled.. you have to enable it in the jquery options, here is the source to do that https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Chunked-file-uploads
For testing purposes i've changed my php.ini settings to accept only 1mb and i'm successfully loading files that surpass that max upload.

I have the following problem in Laravel.
I would like to upload a file through a form. But for some reason if the file is larger than around 2100 KB, the validation fails, and says that the file is 'required' and I did not provide it.
I've read numerous articles, that this can be because of php.ini settings. On my server they are the following:
upload_max_filesize 64M
post_max_size 64M
These values are copied from the output of phpinfo(), so they are in effect.
And despite this, the upload fails even for a 2 MB file. Do you have any ideas what I could check/set to solve this?
I am using laravel 5.2, and PHP 7.
Check which server software you are using. Nginx for instance has it's own limit (default set to 1MB I believe). Apache might have it too. Consult the respective manuals for those packages on how to configure them. Or if you're using shared hosting, contact support to see if they can increase the limit.
Though this isn't a really scalable solution. Next time you might want to upload a 100MB file, and you probably don't want to allow 100MB requests on your servers. A better approach would be to split the file in smaller chunks in the frontend, with JavaScript, and submit them as parts of the same upload, then recombine the parts on the server once the file is completely uploaded. Beware of additional checks you'll have to do here though.
You might want to incorporate the following into your own code:
<?php
//--- this tries to override the default of only 2M file uploads.
ini_set("upload_max_filesize","25M");
ini_set("max_execution_time",600); //--- 10 minutes
ini_set("post_max_size","35M");
ini_set("file_uploads","On");
?>
In my case, it was HDD space issue. not enough space to store the file.
Laravel should handle it with proper message, instead of indicating user didn't upload anything.
If you are not using any other package to upload files to check , then
then remember to restart apache .
I am try to uploading file on WordPress server.after 8 mb uploading file is break.There are three ways to increase the size of the uploading file.
PHP.ini (Changing the settings of PHP.ini file)
htaccess (Also change the settings in htaccess file but still of no use)
changing settings in wp-admin file.
all are not working.
Is it any other way to increase the size of the uploading file.
You have to configure this two things in php.ini upload_max_filesize and post_max_size then restart your webserver
Apart from the maximum filesize setting, try to look and configure max_execution_time and post_max_size in the php.ini if necessary. Then,restart Apache.
It depends on where you are uploading file ie. On which site.
What is your connection bandwidth.
How much uploading your WordPress service provider supporting.
Your script can have a limited set of time to be executed.
Try set the request timeout inside the php script with set_time_limit() (for a test on time limit, not for an upload)
Often, when the limit is represented by the size of file, you should have a message warning before the upload starts. In this case the server is letting you upload, so in most cases it's not a size problem.
Take into account also that some providers are imposing execution time from web server setup so you have to check this too. If I were you I'll try to execute a script that does nothing (wait) for some minutes, and see if that the time the request goes in timeout is the same for uploading a file.
In my site I have to upload very large files.File size may be up to 200MB.
What approach should i follow to upload these files in less duration.Is there any concept of binary uploading in php?
Any help would be highly appreciable.
Uploading large files over HTTP is obviously not perfect, which was why FTP was designed.
However, given what you have got to work with, there are a few things you can do to help make the process smoother.
Make sure that you set the appropriate settings in PHP:
max_upload_size to an appropriate size
set_time_limit(0);, so that the script does not time out.
Other settings that require tweaking:
memory_limit
post_max_size
max_input_time
1.change the max_upload_size in php.ini for appropriate size.
2.Set your script timeout to never (set_time_limit(0); in your scripts… don’t do this in your php.ini)

i'm testing a website on my localhost not on the server
in php.ini max file size is 128 mb but i can't upload a 26 mb flv file it doesn't give me an error or anything the page just refreshes and nothing happens it doesn't upload but small large files are uploaded successfully any advice ?
Check upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in php.ini, .htaccess and web-server config. Make sure you're editing correct php.ini.
Yes, you'll need to ask to the hosting support via ticket. The limits depends from your hosting plan.
I want to upload and store video files to my server using PHP. Could any one please provide me some example about how to upload a large file using PHP?
Please keep in mind that these files are generally larger than 200 MB.
I think the question is fairly limited, is it the post size where there are problems? Uploading files of this size, really should be handled by something else than the normal upload control. You should see if you can give the user a progress on the upload, because otherwise users probably will cancel the upload if it takes too long.

Look at this move_uploaded_file, but if it's so big, it needs to be allowed in php.ini to upload this big files. And maybe you will have problem with Apache as well, because default time when it disconnects you is 5 minutes.
You will need to edit PHP.INI and change those two parameters:
upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
...for a maximum upload filesize of 500MB.
If you have a properly set-up server you can put php.ini files into your htdocs root, and it will be effective.
