File Uploads

Joined: 30 Jan 2006 Posts: 4

I have everything in my php.ini file set to allow 20 MB file uploads. But no matter what script I use to upload files, anything over 2 MB ends up corrupt. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks.

More than likely it is an issue with HTTP upload --

I would advise using FTP for anything large

I can understand why you would suggest that. But that would kind of defeat the purpose of the project management software If I can't upload the project related files. Is there any way around the HTTP upload problem....if that's what it is? Should I be able to change the script to utilize FTP rather than HTTP?

Thanks.

I amy have spoken too soon -- so check this:

http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size

post_max_size integer
Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize.

If memory limit is enabled by your configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.

When an integer is used, the value is measured in bytes. You may also use shorthand notation as described in this FAQ

.

If the size of post data is greater than post_max_size, the $_POST and $_FILES superglobals are empty. This can be tracked in various ways, e.g. by passing the $_GET variable to the script processing the data, i.e. <form action="edit.php?processed=1">, and then checking if $_GET['processed'] is set.

The issue may be with your connection tho --
I would try a speed test with the maximum size you can get.

Thanks for the reply. I found out that it is actually a download problem not an upload problem. The files on the server are the correct size and can be opened fine. But when downloaded they all become 1.90 MB.
