I've made a tiny site where my friends can upload songs and some tiny files that they want to but my problem is that files over 5mb fails, as in the browser shows "Connection reset" error.
The max file size set by my server is 2Mb, but i can upload 2.5-3Mb fine
Probably because i overwrote it with .htaccess
But however file uploads over 5Mb they just don't get uploaded at all, as i said earlier browser cannot reach server.
Would this be a server issue? Or an issue in my code? Will i need to change things in order for large uploads to happen?
Also max post size and max file size is set to 40mb in the .htaccess file
Here is the website
http://sharebay.webatu.com/
You can try uploading some files over 7mb, mp3/flac/aac/m4a/wav/
Add these to .htaccess as well (adjust 10M to size in MB that you want):
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 10M
This assumes you don't have access to php.ini (otherwise it would be better to put there) and that your host does not prohibit htaccess overrides on these values.
If you've already tried that then post more info about your environment. If you are on a shared server it's probably not something you can change too much.
How long the upload takes?
If you have slow upload line then it should take more time then max_execution_time and then apache halts your PHP script.
Change file upload size
You can change it an .htaccess file.
.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 70M
php_value post_max_size 80M
php_value memory_limit 90M
php_value max_execution_time 240
php_value max_input_time 240
you can change size according ur need

I am facing a little problem with increasing the Upload_Max_Filesize limit on a clients server. The Upload_Max_Filesize is set to 2M and I need to increase it to at least 10M. There's no php.ini file currently present inside any of the folders albeit I tried creating a php.ini file and then uploaded it to the root folder of the website but that didn't work. I also edited the .htaccess file by putting these two lines inside it but, sadly, that didn't work either:
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 10M
I have access to the cPanel but it's mentioned inside the PHP Configuration page that:
These PHP configuration settings are customizable by the server administrator. They are listed for reference only.
Please let me know if there's any other way through which I can increase the limit of Upload_Max_Filesize.
You have to contact your host to increase your upload size. I've successfully done it from 5mb to 20mb. You just need to ask.
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'm using codeigniter, but what I've done is made a small upload form. When I try to upload a 49kb file it works, when I try to upload a 14mb file, not only does it not work, but it seems to be refusing to see it as a post. $this->input->post() is returning false. That is before all the CI code that checks upload size etc. So I don't understand what can be keeping the file from being uploaded all the way.
PHP has file size restrictions, default usually at 10MB. If you have access to php.ini, edit upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.
You can typically also accomplish this by adding the following to your .htaccess file, if you're on Apache:
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
Other flags that might affect your success are max_execution_time, max_input_time and memory_limit.
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
I want to change the max upload file limit dynamically. means by not changing the php.ini file on server.
Whenever user had uploaded more then 2 mb then my upload limit should be change.
I want to do all this through php.
Thanks in advance.
The limits enforces by upload_max_filesize are enforced before the php script is run, so the setting cannot be changed dynamically with ini_set.
For more information on the file upload ini settings and where they can be changed, see:
- http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.sect.file-uploads
- http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.modes.php
Assuming by "user" you mean a visitor to your site, there are really only two methods you can enforce such a limit without the file reaching its final destination:
1) Before the upload has occurred: On the client side. You could definitely do this using a java-based uploader. Whether you can get the filesize of the selected file using javascript, I don't know.
2) After the file is uploaded to the server, but before you move it to the final destination (before you run move_uploaded_file)
Try this:
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', your_value_here);
Make sure also that you have specified the correct acceptable settings for:
file_uploads
upload_max_filesize
max_input_time
memory_limit
max_execution_time
post_max_size
If you can't modify your php.ini, you might be able to do it with a .htaccess file:
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
