PHP coders.. big uploads time out, help needed - GoFuckYourself.com

thumbnailsource · 01-09-2009, 07:24 AM

Hi guys,

I'm trying to setup a script for uploading large files through PHP, and the script times out and causes the page to load infinitely. The code works flawlessly on smaller files, and i've searched google for a solution with no luck.

the php.ini has huge settings for:
max_execution_time
max_input_time
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

so I don't know what else to do at this point.. right now i'm testing with a 170mb file and left it running over night. nothing. what gives?

Running Apache? If so, it could be the Apache HTTP timeout.

Read the comments here.

I wouldn't even bother. I've had more than my share of headaches dealing with that. PHP, Apache.. hell, browsers themselves were never meant to deal with file uploads of that size.
That's why FTP was invented.

I'm not saying it's not possible but for all the headaches you'll give yourself, I suggest finding another way.

what about memory_limit variable?

thumbnailsource · 01-09-2009, 07:38 AM

max_execution_time 3000
memory_limit 200M

is all set in my php.ini

I'm so frustrated with this >_<

If you write it in PERL then there is no such thing as a timeout or limit!!!

If you want a perl script to do this then email me : tube at econfirmpro dot com

How big are the files?

between 1mb and 200mb..

the less than 100mb files work great

Like Stuart said, unless there is a great reason for you to be uploading 100MB files via the web, going the ftp route is the way to go...

I just upoaded a 135MB video in 1 hour and 2 minutes using my tube script that
I wrote in PERL. There does not appear to be any limit to upload size with perl.
You can however set a max upload size.

If this was something that several people wanted then I could cut this code out of
my tube script and set it up to work with your tube script.

How many people need this?
