Hi Roshan,
I have tried the “set_time_limit(0);” to increase the execution time but it won’t worked.
I feel your approach may work by putting it in .htaccess.
any way thanks, will let you know about it.
But why couldn’t i set it in .ini (remote server)….????
like,
ini_set(‘max_execution_time’, 7200); — Working
ini_set(‘upload_max_filesize’, ’64M’); — Not working
ini_set(‘max_input_time’, 7200); — Not working
ini_set(‘memory_limit’, “64M”); — Not working

@Roshan- do you have any tips for uploading large file very fast.
I have large 44MB .pdf, .xlsx and .csv. It seems like .csv uploading faster.
Thanks!

Check what is the server type.If the server is windows server it works with .htaccess file but produces internal server error for the Linux server.

For this you have to create the custom php.ini file and upload in the root folder.

Create the php.ini file and put

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M
output_buffering = on
max_execution_time = 1000
max_input_time = 1000
memory_limit = 64M

I think it works.

Hi everyone,

I have the same problem: unable to upload files bigger than 12 MB;
however:
- I don’t have access to any of the ini-files
- the hostingprovider tells me it’s not possible to ‘upgrade’ to allow the upload of more MB
- adapting the .htaccess file with the code provided:
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
returns an Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
- only 1 FTP user is available for this account (so I cannot provide this option either)..

As per the hostingprovider, I have to “split the query in the notepad and then import the files” … is this an option? And if so, HOW do I have to do this?…

Any help is really appreciated!
thanks in advance

Why ini_set() does not works.I want to increase the upload limit.
Does this depends on PHP version

It was quite a hurdle to upload large files. In our line of business, files are always macro, never micro. Your tutorial has made uploading a breeze.

@Roshan

hi roshan i’m exactly the same issue. Even after settings the .htaccess file i cannot upload a 17 mb file my phpinfo() says that upload limit is 50 mb and post limit is also 50 mb and the memory limit is 128mb.

if i use a .htaccess file the script executes for some time and returns a “500 Internal server”
with out .htaccess file the sever returns “Connection was reset”.

Is it some thing to do with the exectuion time of the script ? I tried to extend the script execution time thorugh the .htacess[php_value max_execution_time 900].Stil i’m getting
“500 Internal server” error.
Please hep i’m new to php coding………

Thanks
