Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb

Hi,

if you are lucky LimitRequestBody could go into a .htaccess file (not 
sure though  been a couple of months since i last read the manual)

It has been my experience that max_file_size does terminate the upload
process if you include it in the form.
But you are right, if it gets to the upload, your stuck.
LimitRequestBody is beyond my control as the site is hosted by a third
party.
Thanks

Hi,

It's often said in many newsgroups and articles that the max_file_size
is next to useless. It's also said that once IE starts uploading it will
not stop even if you keep you foot on the stop button!
If i remembers the earlier messages you have said the php.ini settings
are correct. If so it could well be that you might be having
misconfigured proxy server or firewall in the way.
Apache also has a setting (LimitRequestBody) that could effect your
   

upload.
 

all the best

I don't believe that the MAX_FILE_SIZE needs to be there. It will only
terminate the upload process at the client, rather than wait for the
     

upload
 

to complete.

Anyway with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE the upload process is being
     

terminated
 

after the file is uploaded.

When the form is submitted, the selected file is uploaded to the server's
temp directory then copied to the maps dir.  For some reason, when the
     

file
 

size exceeds 11kb (very small) the process
gets aborted (with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE). I've put in diagnostic
messages and the POST script throws an error message if it can't find the
file
in the temp directory. I've uploaded several file sizes up to the max of
     

2MB
 

and it appears the file is being uploaded. I base this assumption on the
fact the upload time is proportional to the file size. When the file size
     

is
 

greater than 11kb it appears that the file is deleted from the temp dir.

Still no idea what is going on.

The <input type="hidden" ... is more than a convenience for the client.

       

It

     

must be before the ...type="file"... tag and after <form.. (at least
       

with
 

Mozilla Firebird as the client) If you have it in there and remember it
       

is
 

in bytes not kb and set it to a size large enough the script accepting
       

the
 

file will show $_FILE['name'] and it will show $_FILE['tmp_name'] having

       

the

     

temporary file.  Then you take that hidden tag out and do the same the
$_FILE['tmp_name'] variable will be empty since it did not recieve the
       

file.

     

So I know at least in my case that the hidden field has to be there.

Subject: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
I've got a situation where I want to upload a file to a server then
       

enter
 

the data in that file into mysql. I have used this well documented
       

upload
 

form

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="_URL_" method="POST">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">

</form>

script on many php servers. However I am on one now which is not
       

allowing
 

       

me

     

to upload a file greater than 12kb.

I know the upload_max_filesize is 2M but something else is stopping the
upload and I don't have a clue what it is. I know you should include
       

<input

     

type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000"> in the above form but

       

that

     

is only a convenience for the user.

This particular server is running php as a cgi module.

Thanks

Chris
