File Uploader

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Hello All

I am making a file uploader, I have noticed my script will not upload the file when over a certain size, I have tried to use ini_set to set some settings to increase the maximum file size upload allowed, but I have read that because the ini_set will be within the same iteration of the upload script, and because it executes after the file upload it will not take effect in time.

Is there a solution around this? I intend my application to be distributed over the internet therefore it would be convenient to be as simple as possible.


Cheers

Do it in php.ini it's the only way to allow a larger file size.

But, what if the end user has no access to their PHP.ini file, is there a way of setting the ini temporarly for that session?

That would be the ini_set function

This might work:

ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "10M");

Nope he's already said that doesn't work, it needs to be set in php.ini so that it's set as the file's uploading.

To tell the truth, me and DClamp spent an hour last night on remote assistance, changing that setting and not once did it work.

There are a few other settings that could be causing your uploads to break.
