If I do this: ini_set('upload_max_filesize', 30720); echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize'); it returns 2M. Why is it not accepting the ini_set? The server is Windows, PHP 5.2. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Why can't I ini_set('upload_max_filesize')?

ly be set in php.ini or httpd.conf. This means that, unfortunately, even if your system uses Apache on Windows and the host allows .htaccess overrides, you still can't set it using php_flags. On 4/17/07, Brian Dunning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If I do this: ini_set('upload

[PHP] Uploading: Safari=happy, IE7/Firefox=unhappy

I got everything configured on my server and uploads working great, max_input_time=3600, upload_max_filesize=30M, post_max_size=30M, and anything I upload up to 30M works great on Safari. IE7 and Firefox choke, returning broser-generated "page not found, connection reset" if the file is big

Re: [PHP] Why can't I ini_set('upload_max_filesize')?

We finally got it resolved by editing php.ini. This was classic: A clueless office assistant did it, talked through step-by-step over a cell phone, while an armed security guard accompanied her into their server room. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit:

[PHP] Cookie Quandary

I wrote some cookies for a whole bunch of site admins, but failed to set the path, so all the cookies are set to '/admin', which is not going to work for everything they need to do. They are also too long, set for 6 months. I need to correct both issues, so I changed it to write cookies to

[PHP] Emergency! Performance downloading big files

This is a holiday-crunch emergency. I'm dealing with a client from whom we need to download many large PDF docs 24x7, several thousand per hour, all between a few hundred K and about 50 MB. Their security process requires the files to be downloaded via https using a big long URL with lots of cr

Re: [PHP] Emergency! Performance downloading big files

Can someone explain how this would work? It's a Windows web server running IIS and the files are saved to a drive that is outside the web root. PHP is grabbing each filename from a MySQL database, along with the URL and credentials for it, and ends up with a url something like this: https://serv

[PHP] Good source for sample data?

Hey all - I need a few million sample contact records - name, company, address, email, web, phone, fax. ZIP codes and area codes and street addresses should be correct and properly formatted, but preferably not real people or companies or email addresses. But they'd work if you did address vali
