Large file upload

Large file upload

am 10.12.2002 08:58:49 von Kelvin Varst

Hi,

I'm trying to upload large files via my homepage. I'm using a form:
print "

method=\"POST\">";

And with files up to approx 500kb it works. But with larger files, the
browser can't find the page, and if I refresh the page, I get some query
errors. In the php.ini the post_max_size is set to 8M.

Thanks everyone,
The problem was lying in the hostname not specified which php as usual
wouldn't tell me
pg_connect("host=$rr dbname=$rr user=$rr");

Thanks

If it's taking longer than about 25-30 seconds you could be timing out.
Try putting set_time_limit(0) at the top of the script. If it works you
might want to try replacing the 0 with a reasonable time limit. The time
is in seconds.

Are you sure that would work? I may be wrong, but my gues would be that=20
the "set_time_limit(0)" would not be evaluated until the posted file has=20
been received and then the php starts executing. I would think that one=20

Not sure if it will or not. I used it recently for a similar problem
but right now I don't recall if it was for an upload or something else.

Hi,

The upload takes more than 30 seconds, but I get the error immediately. I
dont think that the webserver is aware of the page will take longer than 30
seconds to upload and therefore sends an error at the beginning of the
upload.

I seem to have trimmed the message out. What exactly does the message
say and what server and browser are you using?
