PHP & HTTP file upload ... size limit?
Hi ... I've created a video gallery system where users can create a video gallery and upload video files to the galleries. The problem is that I cannot seem to be able to upload files after they reach a certain size ... I cannot upload 1mb files but I can upload ~400 kb files.
So the limit is somewhere there between.
I'm just using INPUT TYPE=FILE in a form with enctype="multipart/form-da
The php file which the form submits to simply takes the name of the variable and uses the copy function to copy it to it's destination.
Is this a limit with PHP or the HTTP standard? Or maybe is this a configuration somewhere in the web server?
This has to be possible ....

You've also need to add a hidden-field to the form:
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
This is the max-file size for uploads in byte.
If your still having problem, you have to check the configuration of your webserver.

lokeshv : We were writing at the same time.
Assuming you run apache as your web server; you can set the filesize limit in php.ini AND in httpd.conf.
filesize limits (post_max_size) in php.ini are usually around 4 or 8 MB, so i think the limit is in your web server configuration. However, I don't know how to resolve this with apache.

This seems to have solved my problem.

By default PHP limits the file size a user can upload so that a user cannot fill the temp space, to increase the file size limityou need to edit your php.ini (/usr/local/lib) to increase the value of the following line
upload_max_filesize = 2097152
hope this will help
