uploading large files in php

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

hi, i used the normal move_uploaded_file() function to upload .rm music files and images using php..but now i need to upload large files..such as setups and installation programs..and for some reason, when i try uploading any other file using the same code, it gives me errors that dont make any sense..so is there a default maximum size set by the move_uploaded_file() function or is there another way of uploading larger files?

@vonMantheiAug 05.2007 — your php.ini file sets a maximum limit of 2mb by default (the hard limit) in the 'upload_max_filesize' option. any attempts to set a 'soft limit' in your script higher than the default are ignored. you can load larger files by setting a new default in the php.ini file.

@felgallAug 06.2007 — Uploading files biggewr than 2Mb using the default method is extremely inefficient which is why that is the default.

See http://www.php.net/ftp for info on the functions that can be used for efficiently uploading large files.
