@NogDogFeb 05.2016 — #To upload directly via a form to a PHP script, see http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php . Near the top there is a paragraph pointing to a number of PHP configuration settings you may need to tweak in order to upload large files. Depending on your server config, you may be able to override the current settings in a .htaccess file, otherwise you'll need direct access to the php.ini file.@NogDogFeb 05.2016 — #There may be some Flash or Java (not JavaScript) applets you could use, but I don't have any personal experience with any of them. (And either would require that the user's browser support/allow them.) @NogDogFeb 05.2016 — #Does your web host allow you to override PHP config settings via .htaccess or access to your own php.ini? If so, you should be able to do it using the built-in PHP functions discussed in the link I posted in my first reply. If not, is this important enough that you'd consider switching to a different hosting plan or provider?
Otherwise, you might be able to leverage Google's API in some way to work with Google Docs, but I have no experience with that, and that would presumably mean the (large) file gets loaded there first, then you'd pull it down to your web server via the API, meaning twice the internet lag time.
Best solution for Large(500mb>) files uploads from website
Hi
Im working on a new site and need a upload form similar to [url]www.landr.com
Clients have to be able to upload large files to my server, 1GB would be enough.
If its easier to upload to dropbox or google drive thats ok.
But it has to be easy because otherwise no one will use the service.
I have done a lot of research but cant find a good solution.
My web hotel has a upload_max_filesize of 96M.
The process is:
Client fill in a contact form, make a payment, and then will be redirected to an upload page.
I want to set the filename myself otherwise its going to be a mess to find the file/client.
If it wasn’t for the file upload limit it would be easy, i have no problem figuring out the mysql/php part.
Hoping for someone that can give me advice on how to upload large files.
Directly to my web server or drop box / google / similar doesn’t matter.
