I've got an alert message when trying to upload very large file in php. When I uploaded 53 MB file and 35% upload process complete, i got an alert message "html5: the upload task is interrupted". I don't know what does that mean. Can anyone help me out. Thank you.
Method # 1: Edit php.ini
You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini :
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M
; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M
Save and close the file. Restart apache or lighttpd web server:
Method #2: Edit .htaccess
Edit .htaccess file in your root directory. This is useful when you do not have access to php.ini file. In this example, /home/httpd/html is considered as root directory (you can also create .htaccess file locally and than upload it using ftp / sftp / scp client):
Append / modify setting as follows:
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value memory_limit 32M

My problem is when I upload a file exceeds the limits I set in the script (5 MB) it shows this warning in the top of the website:
Warning: POST Content-Length of 32485176 bytes exceeds the limit of 20971520 bytes in Unknown on line 0
For example here I uploaded a file more than (30 MB) but when I upload a file more than (5 MB) and less than 30 (or not that large) it doesn't show that warning and shows only the error I wanted from the code :
if($file_size > 5000000) { echo
"<div>
You Can't Upload More than 5MB of the file
</div>";
}
I am working on localhost and this error is appearing every time, I know how to fix it in localhost by modifying php.ini, but the website is online too and this error isn't showing in the website.
Is there a way to limit the uploaded files sizes to (5 MB) and not modifying the php.ini file because I don't think I have the permission from the hosting company to change the apache config for the limits.
I hope my question's clear.
Thanks for helping.
You can change it via .htaccess file in your php file directory...
.htaccess files are stored in the same directory as your .php files are. They modify configuration for that folder and all sub-folders. You simply use them by creating an .htaccess file in the directory of your choice (or modify it if present).
The following should enable you to increase your upload limit (if the server provider allows PHP config changes via .htaccess).
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 105M
you just settings at php.ini
then set :
upload_max_filesize = 1000M;
post_max_size = 1000M;
then restart your server..
Hello go To You Xampp Directory and then go as follow :-
xampp\php\php (configuration file)
Find for post_max_size (make sure you are at top of file)
then change
post_max_size = 2M To post_max_size 1000M
upload_max_filesize = 8M To upload_max_filesize = 1000M
and now restart you apache server or if still error restart apache , mysql too
Please Let Me know if any concern
I can successfully upload files upto 3-4 MB. But when I try to upload files greater than 4 MB, it starts upload for sometime and then shows "This webpage is not available" error. I have hosted the site in 000webhost. But in localhost, I can easily upload larger files as well. Please help me out of this.
You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini :
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M
; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M
(and restart apache)
I believe that you have
Enough permission to upload files
And increased upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
upload_max_filesize = 40M
post_max_size = 40M
Note :
000webhost.com is a free hosting site and you can't expect good speed and it would fail in most cases. If you want to see good response better try in a paid hosting or try in some free app hosters like heroku
Update according to user's Comment :
I can do that in localhost. But where can I find the php.ini file as I have already hosted the site
You can't find the php.ini in online server. But you can set it using .htaccess files and other few ways..
Create a .htaccess file and inside it have the following code, then you can achieve your need.
php_value upload_max_filesize 40M
php_value post_max_size 40M
I wanted to increase the file upload size limit in wordpress without editing php.ini
So I tried adding .htaccess to the wp-content/uploads directory with rules like these:
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value memory_limit 32M
This doesn't work in wp-content/uploads, the upload max is still 2MB
This does work if I put this in the websites .htaccess file though.
Why won't this work if I just put the htaccess in the uploads directory? Are there any risks in increasing the upload size for the entire site?
.htaccess won't work unless the PHP script handling the upload exists at wp-content/uploads/ (which it does not). Placing it in that folder does not have the result you may expect because it only impacts scripts located in that folder.
You might try placing .htaccess file into /wp-admin/ which will change upload settings for all files handled inside the admin PHP scripts.
Unclear from your post where else users may be uploading files... are you using upload forms in your public-facing website? If so, you may not want to update the settings server-wide. If not, I see no big risks in making the change.
For increase PHP's file upload limit.
In php.ini file, change the parameter to whatever size you need
(example: )
upload_max_filesize = 32M
...
Simply create blank text file. Save As php.ini
Inside the text file copy-paste the following:
upload_max_filesize = 32M
post_max_size = 32M
============================
Unable to access root directory , than
add this to top of wp-config.php
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
To Increase the Maximum file size upload in wordpress
find the php.ini location
#find / -iname php.ini
Get into the folder By default it is 2M we can incerase by setting value to the parameter
#vim php.ini
upload_max_filesize = <Userdefined size> (For eg 20M)
post_max_size = <Userdefined size >
Then if you are using php7.0 restart php7.0-fpm service
#systemctl reload php7.0-fpm.service
If .htaccess not change value and also php.ini not change values, search for .user.ini file in root folder server and search for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values and replace them.
For increasing PHP's file upload limit.
Go to wordpress root directory and open .htaccess file. In my case it was found in /var/www/html
php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value memory_limit 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
The above code increased my file upload limit to 128 MB in wordpress
2021:
Access /etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini
Increase the value of post_max_size. The default value is 8M.
Restart the server with sudo service apache2 restart
Try to add this to functions.php of your theme
#ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '10M' );
#ini_set( 'post_max_size', '20M');
#ini_set( 'memory_limit', '32M' );
I got the problem with my web server.
I configured PHP to have max upload size 300MB. I changed 2 options in php.ini
php_value upload_max_filesize 300MB
php_value post_max_size 300MB
This works fine.
But recently i noticed very big file in /tmp folder (this is temp folder for PHP).
There were 3 files of a size 1.5GB and continue growing . file names were like temp php files /tmp/php** (** some random code).
And i checked that process writing to these files were my PHP script i created for uploading.
So my question is why PHP upload and post limit didn't affect on these files? What can be the reason? Maybe PHP saves all uploaded data to temp dir first and only after this calculates a size and check if it is good or not?
I appreciate any comments.
UPDATE. Can this be something like - http client sends a request without content-length heder so php can not use post_max_size to limit affect. And PHP writes everything to the disk because doesn't know what is the site of POST request and file in it?
You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini :
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 300M
; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 300M
or in .htaccess
php_value upload_max_filesize 300M
php_value post_max_size 300M
Try to set a new tmp directory with larger space and no limit rather than the system default (/tmp). You can do so either by changing the default directory in the php.ini file:
upload_tmp_dir = /scratch/custom_temp
or overwrite inside the php script:
<?php
ini_set('upload_tmp_dir', '/scratch/custom_temp');
?>
I used uplaodify plugin to upload music files. Everyting is okay in my local
uploadify.php file is in public_html/uploadify directory
i want to increment my upload file size limit to 10 MB
i tried to put
php.ini file in public_html
post_max_size = 500M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
max_execution_time = 900;
max_input_time 900
and I am looking my phpinfo() thats good
but ı cannot upload bigger than 2MB
And i tried to put same php.ini in public_html/uploadify
Now I can upload file which size 2.5 MB , but no upper;
And
ini_set('upload_max_size','10M');
ini_set('post_max_size','10M');
ini_set('max_execution_time','900');
lines is in the my index.php and uploadify.php
What should I do increment my file upload size limit
EDIT
I look $_FILES[..]['error'], and its 7
UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE
Value: 7; Failed to write file to disk. Introduced in PHP 5.1.0.
But I can upload file which smaller than 2.5 MB
Edit the .htaccess file in the root folder and add these values:
RewriteEngine On
php_value post_max_size 1000M
php_value upload_max_filesize 1000M
php_value max_execution_time 6000000
You can edit it to suit your needs. 1000M = 1GB, so edit accordingly. Do note that your host will need to allow PHP edits.
You cannot override upload limits from within a script using ini_set - the upload will have completed (or been aborted) using the original settings long before PHP fires up and processes the ini_sets.
You can't just litter php.ini files around your system either - php doesn't load random .ini files it finds lying around. It only loads them from specific locations. If PHP hasn't been told to load one from the uploadify directory, you'll have to use a .htaccess and php_value directives.
Hello I had the similar issue while uploading a theme on wordpress on localhost. After hours of research I was able to put following 3 lines in my php.ini and restarted the apache and it worked. I thought this will help others.
This will go in file upload section of ini
upload_max_filesize = 800M
post_max_size = 800M
max_file_uploads = 800M
