Max file size issue

I downloaded your php class and i have a form that uploads an mp3 to the server and it's ok for like under 2mb but then if it's bigger it gives me this

The uploaded file exceeds the max. upload filesize directive in the server configuration.

i set the max upload size to 50mb in the script. any idea whats wrong here?

don't use this kind of high value...


you have also to raise the post_max_size and this value in the example script:

$max_size = 1024*250; // the max. size for uploading in bytes


the hidden tag
  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="<?php echo $max_size; ?>">

must be the first element in your form

If you're using php, you will have to update your php.ini to allow bigger files to be uploaded. The default is usually 2M in php. Check: upload_max_filesize = 2M

Thanks Wineo (I should better read)
If you don't have access to the php config you can try to change this values via htaccess:

just put this in a .htaccess in the folder:

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize {new_bytes_max}

so do i just create a .htaccess file and put that code directly into it? or should i change the new_bytes_max to something?

yes if your server support this feature, otherwise you need something different (ftp upload)

Yeah, use something like this:

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M

Ok i made a .htaccess file with

Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M

and now it gives me this:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@maliciousmetal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Try adding

Code:

<?php

ini_set("post_max_size", "128M");
ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "128M");

?>

at the top of your script, instead of the .htaccess change.

Try this... else you may have to alter the php.ini file. Remember though that we were never meant to upload such big file sizes this way and I am sure that with some server setups you may run into some problems trying to upload files bigger than about 30M.

i tried putting that at the top but i got The uploaded file exceeds the max. upload filesize directive in the server configuration. again 

The file was only 4mb. Any idea how to change the php.ini file? i couldnt find it through my ftp program.

if you are on shared hosting I don't think you will be able to change it. You could try asking your webhost company if they want to change it for you...

ok i'll ask

ok they set it to 32mb and it works thanks for the help
