Changing default limits on file upload size?
23 Jul 2006 21:01:02 Tim Hodge posted:
If I don't have access to my host's server setup, is it possible to to raise the limit on file upload size? I need my upload area to be able to accept files up to 10 or 20 MB. I have tried Pure pHp upload and come up against a 2MB limit. Thank you.No ugly websites!

You won't get around the setting, you should ask your profider to make this higher.

Glad I didn't stop googling for a solution when I saw this post... I was able to get around the default upload / max execution time limits set by my web-host's PHP.INI settings by using an ".htaccess" file (placed in the same folder as the upload PHP script) with the following lines in it:
<ul><li>php_value upload_max_filesize 50M</li><li>php_value max_execution_time 800</li></ul>
Which obviously sets the max upload size to 50Mb and allows 800 seconds to run the script before timing out.
Cheers

Be careful with .htaccess because this can be disabled, your host can decide to disable .htaccess usage.
