Failed to upload file exceed than 2MB

[wackyflik]

i successfully upload files less than 2Mb. but, when try to upload file exceed than 2MB, i always get an error. i have edited some of the values in php.ini but no luck.

post_max_size = 32M --> default is 8M

upload_max_filesize = 50M --> default is 2M

is there any line(s) that i need to edit?

[clamcrusher]

-call phpinfo() to determine the location of the correct php.ini file to edit.
-edit it
-restart webserver

[wackyflik]

i have read a tutorial from zend

i have changed some values below

post_max_size = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
memory_limit = 20M

i have restarted apached but still no luck...

Could be server disk space quota. Some host providers (especially free) set the file size limit.

i am not upload my program into the actual server yet. still in my workstation. it has 256MB of memory. current memory usage (PF Usage) is 290MB.

Did you try doing what clamcrusher suggested? Are you sure the php.ini location is correct?

how to find it? i am still searching. i did display the phpinfo(). my php.ini file is in D:\website\php\php.ini. i made the changes on this file.

[php_daemon]

If phpinfo() says it's there, then it's there. If you changed that file and restarted the web server, the changes should apply. Check if these settings are what you set in phpinfo().

[wackyflik]

i did find post_max_size and upload_max_filesize. both have value 20M.

[php_daemon]

What is exactly the error that you get when you try uploading it?

[wackyflik]

this is my code.

$uploadDir = '../files/';
            $ext = strrchr($fileName, ".");
            if($ext != ".pdf" && $ext != ".PDF" && $ext != ".doc" && $ext != ".DOC"){
                echo "<br /><br /><center>Invalid file type.</center>";
            }
            else{
                $filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
                $result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
                if (!$result) {
                    echo "<br /><br /><center>Error uploading file.</center>";
                    exit;
                }
        
                if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())    {
                    $fileName = addslashes($fileName);
                    $filePath = addslashes($filePath);
                }
                
                global $tenderDb;
                $sql = "UPDATE tender SET
                        tenderNo = '$number', 
                        tenderTitle = '$title', 
                        tenderSaleDate = '$dateSale', 
                        tenderCloseDate = '$dateClose', 
                        tenderCloseTime = '$timeClose',
                        tenderSubmitLocation = '$submission',
                        tenderPrice = '$price', 
                        tenderCondition = '$condition', 
                        tenderFileName = '$fileName', 
                        tenderFileSize = '$fileSize',
                        tenderFileType = '$fileType', 
                        tenderFilePath = '$filePath', 
                        tenderStatus = '$status'
                        WHERE tenderId = $tenderid";
                $query = $tenderDb->query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); 

I always get "Error uploading file." but this error only appear if i try uploading file exceed than 2MB. if the file size is less than 2MB, then no error is displayed.

[php_daemon]

Try changing move_uploaded_file() to copy() (just for debugging purposes).

same error...

[php_daemon]

Are the errors turned off? Try turning them on in php.ini and see what errors does it display.

[wackyflik]

i did turn on display errors and error_reporting = E_ALL

[php_daemon]

Very strange. Try using is_uploaded_file additionally to check if the file was uploaded to server.

yeah! very strange! my friend can upload 350MB file size but i wanted to set the max file size is only 20MB, but still no luck. is it because of not enough memory at this workstation (only 256MB, currently using 281MB)? i think i have to try at my notebook. mine has 512MB of memory. i'll let u know soon. thanks dude!

When it comes to uploading large files HTTP upload is very unstable the best method would be to use FTP as it was made for file transfers.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php

[clamcrusher]

in the upload script, add this at the top.

var_dump(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
var_dump(ini_get('post_max_size'));
print_r($_FILES); 

post the output here.

[wackyflik]

string(3) "20M" string(3) "20M" Array ( [tenderfile] => Array ( [name] => Extending_DWMX2004.pdf [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => 2 [size] => 0 ) )

Do you have MAX_FILE_SIZE set in the upload form!?

[wackyflik]

Do you have MAX_FILE_SIZE set in the upload form!?

i do have it

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="20000000"> 

the value above allow me to upload file which size is 20MB right? i think it works now. i dont know how i did it. i just re-installed my php. and configured several things as previous one. then, i tried it, and wow!...i can upload...this thing drive me crazy man...

[php_daemon]

[error] => 2 in $_FILES array says the file size exceeded the limit set by max_file_size. You have probably had a wrong number there.

[wackyflik]

i had increased the number before. original tutorial is 2,000,000 then i have changed it to 20,000,000. but anyhow, it works. thanks to u guys. nice help!
