Uploading a large text file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 27.2005

I have a 24M text file that I’m trying to upload. I have changed the upload_max_filesize to 30M and the post_max_filesize to 31M. I have even changed the execution time and input time. I know all of this has already gone into effect but the file is still not being uploaded. I am using PHP 5.0.4 and Apache/2.0.53. Is there anything else I need to change in the PHP.ini or do I need to change the configuration of apache?

@crh3675May 27.2005 — with large files, there are many variables that you have to take into account:

If you are on a Unix/Linux server running apache you can create a .htaccess file and put in the directory you are running the script

put this in that file

php_value upload_max_filesize "50M"

php_value post_max_size "55M"

php_value max_execution_time 1200

php_value max_input_time 1200

php_value memory_limit 55M

c:Program FilesApache GroupApachelogserror.log

Not to sound silly but I assume you are accessing file like:

http://localhost/youruploadfile.php


not

c:MyFilesyouruploadfile.php

$_FILES["yourfile"]["error"]

?

Success!
