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

I have trouble uploading realy large files. Up to 5 GB. I have next entries in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t solve the problem.

LimitRequestBody 0
php_value upload_max_filesize 10000M
php_value post_max_size 15000M
php_value max_execution_time 18000
php_value max_input_time -1
php_value memory_limit -1

I am able to upload 1.5 GB file, but failed with 4 GB.

What should I check?

Can you post a same html or php upload script that I can use even a simple one? I tried this on htaccess and created my php upload script. I gave me errors but when I checked it was able to upload the 34mb file I tried uploading

A nice script even a simple one that is usable would help. Thanks

It worked for me but to err on the side of caution (Possible DDOS attacks) I decided to use these same exact settings in the PHP config editor. I tested everything out and it works smoothly now, thank you for sharing this.

Debugging tips for people who are unable to get it to work:

1) Inside the directory that contains the php file upload handler script, create a php file that contains a call to phpinfo(). Open this file in browser and inspect the “local” values (e.g. upload_max_filesize) reported by phpinfo.

2) Activate additional error logging in php if possible. If you do not have access to php’s global configuration file, you *might* be able to override settings via .htaccess by aadding these lines:

# enable sending error message to browser
php_flag display_errors On
# shows most errors including NOTICEs
php_value error_reporting 2047

3) Have a look at apache error log for errors related to apache, not php. Apache error logs are enabled by default and usually stored in a file called ‘error.log’. This gives you further details about configuration errors such as:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

4) Try entering numerical values instead of php constants. Example:

20M => 20971520
100M => 104857600
