I have a simple upload form with:
enctype="multipart/form-data"/>
and
input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5900000" />
And the following settings, that are applied (checked through phpini()) in php.ini:
upload_max_filesize = 7MB
memory_limit = 64M
post_max_size = 8MB
I try to upload a file that is small - 500k and it goes through
I try to upload a file that is 5MB (smaller than both upload_max_filesize
and post_max_size
settings) and it fails with error code 1: which says is:
UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Anyone has a clue what is going on?
I think this is because of a typo. Instead of
upload_max_filesize = 7MB
it should read
upload_max_filesize = 7M
use phpinfo()
again to check what value actually gets applied.
You also have to set the post_max_size
in "php.ini"
upload_max_filesize = 7M
Here the value is like 7M
or 10M
but not MB
.
Use phpinfo()
again to check what value actually got applied.
Use the code below to understand what the problem is. If file size is the problem, it simply prints out put as exceeds the upload_max_filesize
directive in php.ini
<?php
$error_types = array(
1 => 'The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.',
'The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.',
'The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.',
'No file was uploaded.',
6 => 'Missing a temporary folder.',
'Failed to write file to disk.',
'A PHP extension stopped the file upload.'
);
// Outside a loop...
if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] == 0) {
// here userfile is the name
// i.e(<input type="file" name="*userfile*" size="30" id="userfile">
echo "no error ";
} else {
$error_message = $error_types[$_FILES['userfile']['error']];
echo $error_message;
}
?>
By this we can easily identify the problem. We can also use switch(){ case }
to print the above error messages.
Here is a big mistake I've done:
If you want to upload really big files, you have to set KeepAliveTimeout
higher than the 5
seconds default value.
For example:
KeepAliveTimeout 300
You can find this property in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
goto WHM->Service Configuration->PHP Configuration Editor
and update the value of upload_max_filesize
.
