RE: [PHP] download filesize problem with IE
[snip] I've got some large zip files sitting in a directory in my website for my clients to download (no these aren't programs for warez but images for the graphics industry). One of the zip files is 78 MB. When using MS IE6 and when I right click the link for that zip file to download it (then 'File Save As), IE gives back an error message that IE cannot download ... path/filename from website.net and IE was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. However, if I try the same thing with a much smaller zip file, it works in IE. And of course, if I use any other browser but IE, then it works perfect no matter what the file size. So it seems to be a combination of MS IE and large file size. In my php.ini, I've got: post_max_size = 100M upload_max_filesize = 100M Is there anything else I need to do in php.ini? Mime settings or execution times? Or is this just another shortcoming in IE? And if so, is it editable? [/snip] You'll note the difference between UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD. With PHP there is some control you have over the UPLOAD portion of the show. For the DOWLOAD in the manner you described it is not a PHP issue. The error - IE was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. indicates that the file may not be where you think it is (check the path) or that there is something wrong with the availability of the file. Make sure the permissions are proper. A quick google of IE large file download problems revealed some information, but it did not seem relevant to your problem. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

From: Kevin Coyner [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've got some large zip files sitting in a directory in my website for my clients to download (no these aren't programs for warez but images for the graphics industry).

The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. Is this over SSL and/or are you using sessions? I've came across problems like this before and the solution was changing the session.cache_limiter, IIRC. Although my issue did not depend upon large file sizes, it happened for any file. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] download filesize problem with IE
At the moment you're talking about two different things - uploading and downloading. Your IE download problem has nothing to do with the php.ini settings for uploaded file sizes. There is nothing you can do with PHP to resolve the download problem. I have experienced the same problems with files over about 32Mb with the last batch of IE updates. It simply isn't capable of downloading such files any more. My employer (name withheld) has *very* recently decided that the officially supported browser is Mozilla, and support for IE will be dropped quite soon simply because Mozilla works and IE causes too many problems. regards Markus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
