Max Upload Size?
« on: March 17, 2003, 02:06:41 AM »
I am finding members cannot upload pics above much more than 50kbs without problems, the upload seems to take place, but then they are taken back to start and asked to browse for a new image.

This is despite me having set the upload to 3000k.

Could somebody please visit my Gallery and test for me, I am validating images, but i do not see this should cause a problem, as the image should show to the member as awaiting validation?http://www.hovegallery.co.uk/Gallery

Check "upload_max_filesize" in your php.ini.

Thanks Jan,

But where should I look for this? I want to be sure I check the correct file, just confirmed today that server is not running in safe mode so this should not be an issue.

Anyone any ideas with this? I am struggling to figure out what the problem is, seems useless to me if my members have to struggle to figure out how to compress their files to insignificance!

Appreciate any feedback, does GZIP make any difference, I have it enabled as I figured it is preferable?

Thanks in Advance.

Mike.

:?  In your php.ini file.

If your site is with a hosting provider, ask them about it.  If you are running your site on your own box, then you'll have to check the php documentation to see where it got installed on your system.

Thanks Chris,

But I dont understand this, if it is not a user editable file, then surely many users have problems with this, although I must confess i dont  :really know what I am looking for even if I find it :?

Then, just ask your host about "max upload size". ask if they can change it for u.
also, run this script to see how PHP is configured at your host:
Code: [Select]
<?php
phpinfo&#40;&#41;;
?>

ah, ok.
step-by-step ;)

1. Open any text editors (notepad would work)
2. Insert that code from my previous post.
3. save that file as phpinfo.php
4. upload it to your server
5. start it by http://<yourhost>/<path_to_that_script_file>/phpinfo.php
6. enjoy your first :?: script! ;) :D

Even Lycos free server runs at 200000, what would my optimum be?

upload_tmp_dir on lycos is../tmp should mine be the same?
