php upload

[Loccie]

I made a file upload system but as soon as I upload a file that's big (like 5mb for example) FF says: "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.". I assume I have to change something in php.ini but I have no idea what.

I think you may have to change a part that limits the total allowable file size upload and overrides any other limitations

You mean the maximum file size in php.ini? I put upload_max_filesize to 10M but it's still showing that.

There's two settings in php.ini that limit your maximum upload size; upload_max_filesize and post_max_size.

You also have to make sure that the MAX_FILE_SIZE field in your upload form is an adequate size. You should not rely on this to control the upload size though, as the user can easily change it with the right tools.

There's a few more php.ini settings that can cause an upload to fail, such as max_execution_time and memory_limit. This is especially true with multiple uploads in one script or if you use libraries like GD to create thumbnails.
