Hi there everyone,



How do I set the following items with ini_set()? I looked at the manual but
when I try nothing happens:



* file_uploads
* upload_max_filesize
* max_input_time
* memory_limit
* max_execution_time
* post_max_size



Basically I need to be able to upload 1gig files via FTP which is based on
PHP, when the file uploads successfully it then adds the info to a mysql
database so that the administration program can control the programs
uploaded, but I can't upload any large files only small ones.



Any help would REALLY be appreciated as this is quite urgent and I've
searched the net for examples but couldn't find what I needed.



Help me o-b-1, you're my only hope :-)



Thanks everyone.



Chris

ini_set('max_execution_time', 9600);
that's how you set the max_execution_time, i would assume the rest follow
the same format.

notice the time is in seconds.

Whoa! Did I read ONE GIG? By FTP I understand *the* File Transfer
Protocol. How is it based on PHP?

On FTP? Or from a PHP generated Web page?

For this answer I am assuming that you want to stick One Gig-o-files
using a PHP script. Let me know if this isn't the case. There are two
things to consider here:
1. The PHP script time-out (usually 30 secs) and the max-upload (2 MB)
2. The Apache Process recycle-time (look for settings in httpd.conf)

You can try playing around with these values. However, it is not good
for your scripts,Apache and PHP to stay in memory for such a long time
(till your huge file gets uploaded). They simply aren't designed to do
that. They are designed to just serve the requested page and shut up.

I'd suggest you use some different mechanism like SCP (if you don't want
to touch FTP) or rsync over SSH if you'd like the thing run unattended.

Regards,

ah

Apart from max_execution_time, the things affected by those settings all ta=
ke place before your script even gains control -- so changing them in the s=
cript can never have any useful effect. To do any good, they must be set i=
n an appropriate config file (php.ini, httpd.conf, .htaccess, etc.) as perm=
itted.
