Video Upload Form

[blm126]

This isn't a problem with your script. This is a problem with the configuration of PHP. If you have access to the php.ini file(or equivalent), you need to change PHP's post_max_size and upload_max_filesize and possibly max_input_time. This is possible in PHP code by adding these lines

ini_set('post_max_size','500M');//Upload up to 500 Megabytes
ini_set('upload_max_file_size','500M');//Upload up to 500 Megabytes 

Hope that helps.

What if we dont have access to the php.ini file

You can set the value also directly inside the php-script via
<? ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime","10800"); ?>


try this..

Okay so I need to add this piece of code to my script to allow for large video size uploads say up to about 150MB, if so where do I add it? It will work. I am a bit lost with the last few posts by the two of you and don't quite understand fully, sorry I don't know jack about .php coding and this type of stuff.

What? That is the entirely wrong setting to change. If you read my first post, you'll see that included that the correct code when I first posted.

Okay, where you see

<?php

change it to

<?php
ini_set('post_max_size','150M');//Upload up to 150 Megabytes 
ini_set('upload_max_file_size','150M');//Upload up to 150 Megabytes

Okay, sorry. I will give it a try. Also, I don't have a php.ini, the only php page in my server is this scrip that I am running. So what do I do with it if I don't have access to the php.ini.

On another note, could you explain it in short what it will allow for large video uploads?

No, you don't make the changes to php.ini(that is another method to fix this problem). You adjust it right in your script.

Basically, PHP itself limits the size uploads can be. This is to ease server resources. So, PHP, by default, rejects any files bigger than 8MB(maybe it is 16MB). All we need to do is modify the PHP configuration, and the script should allow larger uploads(though it will take a long time). There is several ways to change the PHP configuration. One is through php.ini(possible on some hosts), another is trhough .htaccess, and the final way is in the PHP script itself. The third method is the one I gave you directions for. Guess that isn't too short of an explanation....

Hey as long as the explanation is explained clear enough. Nothing is too long.

I cant seem to get it working either ill ask jas.. to give me source and see..

If you still want it, my script is here.

Thanks, I am going to see if it will work with what I need. Is there anyway to incorporate the ftp connection for the large video upload into the script I have here on the first post of this thread? If not, I was just wondering.
