php saving image script

There are a number of settings that can affect large file uploads.  The HTML form has some important information.  Here is my teaching example of how to upload files.  Check the man pages referenced in the comments, and the HTML form near line 60.

But there is no max file size for the temp file.
are you saying the reference to the max file might be in the form not in the saving script?

Yes, exactly!  Check the comments in the PHP script for man page references you need to understand, and check the comments in the HTML lines 66-72.

so why is it able to save the file the first time as a tmp file?

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood.  In PHP file uploads, tmp is a term of art, referring to the temporary storage that is used when a file is uploaded and that is discarded when the script ends.  Can you show us the rest of the class?  Did you write this script or did you find it somewhere else?  This is really curious; what does it do?  Are you familiar with $_FILES?

$image = $function($_POST["imageSource"]);

Would raising the memory limit help?
ini_set('memory_limit', '64M');

when I have a large filesize I don't get past line 14.

$image = $function($_POST["imageSource"]);
does this run a function? or just puts the variable $image with the new image location.
How can I figure out what it's calling.

does this run a function?

Good grief, how would I know?  Where did you get this code?  It doesn't really make sense to me (looks like it is a fragment that was ripped out of a larger class) but I figured if you were using it, you understood it and trusted it.

If you're not sure what this code is doing, it might be wise to step away from it and get a bit of a foundation in how PHP works.  Handling file uploads is considered an intermediate-to-advanced topic with security implications.  You can get a good head start on learning PHP with the resources in this article.  Another approach, if you want to save time, would be to hire a professional developer to either write the code, or help you write the code.

I am trying to use a crop function.
Someone uploads the photo, then they can crop, rotate and compress and hit save.
Someone wrote the script for me using the YII framework.

Now I'm looking back at it and realizing it only works for files under 1 mb and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Yeah, I see this kind of thing all the time.  Not only do you have to learn PHP, you have to learn the framework, too.  Wherever the fix might be, it probably isn't in this code.  Do you have a link to this online anywhere so I could see the native behavior when I use a small file and a large one that triggers the failure?

I am reposting the code along with kind of tracing, i set up a cookie that gets set as you go along so you can see what is happening.

Thank you for your help anyway?
I will have to hire someone to figure it out.

Sorry I couldn't figure it out, but thanks for the points and good luck with it.  I'm guessing that the answer will be found in a configuration setting or in the form that does the upload. At least that is where I would look first.
