Create a <?php phpinfo() ?> page.
Any upload/post limits should be stated on there.

[arunkumar]

Sir,
Where should i create phpinfo file
ArunKumar

Anywhere where you can access it via a url.
For example, if your url is http://foobar.com then create a phpinfo.php file with the following in it:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

Put phpinfo.php into your sites document root (where the index.php file is) and goto http://foobar.com/phpinfo.php

Be sure to remove phpinfo.php once you're done to prevent other people from viewing it.

[arunkumar]

sir,
I cant get you,I am soory for it.The below is my code how to do i sir.

/*********************************************************/
<? include "pathfile.php";
echo " <form enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"".$pathconfig."backupload.php\" method=\"POST\">\n";
echo " Send this file: <input name=\"tst\" type=\"file\" /> \n";
echo " <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send file\" /> \n";
echo " </form> \n";

?>
/***********My link goes here****************************/
if (isset($_fileS['tst']) && is_array($_fileS['tst']) && isset($_fileS['tst']['tmp_name']) && is_uploaded_file($_fileS['tst']['tmp_name'])) {
copy($_fileS['tst']['tmp_name'], 'upload/'.$_fileS['tst']['name']);
unlink($_fileS['tst']['tmp_name']);
echo 'uploaded file: '.$_fileS['tst']['name'].', '.$_fileS['tst']['size'].' bytes';
}

The phpinfo.php file above is a completely new file you need to create ... forget about any existing files you may currently have.
Just create a brand new file called phpinfo.php (as above) and upload/ftp it to your host/server. Put it in the same place as your index.php file (or index.html) then goto http://yoursite.com/phpinfo.php

[arunkumar]

Sir,
I am trying to uploads a rar file.

I simply want to upload a file more that 60 mb.

I face the same problem when downloading also.
Thanks,
Arunkumar

[markl999]

Yes, but you need to find out why you are having this problem.
A <?php phpinfo() ?> file will show you all your PHP/Apache settings, some of those are related to uploading files, you need to check them to make sure there's no predefined file size limit.
If you do what i suggested above and view http://yoursite.com/phpinfo.php you'll see what i mean.

[arunkumar]

Sir
I doit as you said but there are more value displaying what to do it.
Thanks,

I presume you now see a page similar to this example one http://cirtexhosting.com/phpinfo.php ?

If so, what are the values of:
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
?

[arunkumar]

sir,
Ya sir,I am having it .The values are 8.

ArunKumar

[markl999]

8? Hmm..that means you have a limit of 8M (and your form isn't specifying any limit).
That means you should only be able to upload 8M files so not even sure how you can upload a 50M one

You don't have to call be sir by the way ... that's my dad

[arunkumar]

hello mark,

How can i change,Is there is anyway to change.

And i feel very pleasure to get answer from you,And i like your last mail.

Can I get your mail id,
Mines is arun@bandvalley.com

Thanks,
Arun Kumar

[markl999]

Some hosts won't allow you to change the upload limit but you can try creating a .htaccess file.

So .. create a new file, called .htaccess and in there put:
php_value upload_max_filesize "100M"
php_value post_max_size "100M"

then upload the .htaccess file to your host, the same way you did it with the phpinfo.php file.

[arunkumar]

Is the file extension is .htaccess
ArunKumar

[markl999]

That's the entire file name, just .htaccess nothing else

[arunkumar]

I have created it bi=ut still it not working

i have just typed what you give is there neccesarry to put $ infront of php_ value.....

[markl999]

No, you don't need the $
Like i said, some hosts won't allow you to change it .. i'm presuming this isn't your server but a hosts?

[arunkumar]

Is that require put these under php tag <? ?>
Arunkumar

[drzoid]

No, this is nothing PHP specific.

[arunkumar]

i saved it as

php_value upload_max_filesize "10000M"
php_value post_max_size "10000M"

and file name is .htaccess and then i store it in my server diredotry where all my php prgramms are there but still i cannot upload the file

[arunkumar]

should i save these in /etc/lib
Arun

[arunkumar]

sir,
I have changed still i cannot download it.
ArunKumar

[markl999]

The .htaccess goes where you originally had it (where you PHP files are .. index.php etc) not in /etc/lib
But it looks like your host doesn't allow you to upload files over 8M to prevent people uploading massive files and clogging up their server.
