Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
Since this install of PHP is a CGI module, the server limits any execution to 30 seconds. Why should upload_max_filesize be greater than post_max_size?

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
your file is sent through post. If your post upload max size is smaller then your upload max size, then the file wouldn't all fit within the post data that PHP will accept. Your upload would then get blocked. Therefore, post_max_size should be set to a larger value then upload_max_filesize to allow the upload to work in the first place. Andrew.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
Hi, Both Marek and Asegu have raised a very valid point about upload_max_filesize post_max_size hower Chris seems to have set this in megabytes but the limit kicks in to place at 11 KILO bytes. That's why i am convinced it's either an apache setting or a proxy getting in the way. Chris, in an earlier message you have said using .htaccess is not part of the requirement!? can you explain what you mean by that? To answer your other question on timing the max execution time is not considered important for handling file uploads but max input time is very important. Asegu wrote: your file is sent through post.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
The application is going to being supplied to a number of customers who may not know how to or don't have the ability to create/modify a .htaccess file. I tend to agree with Raditha about this being an Apache issue. Upon complaint to the hosting provider about this issue the did something that increased the upload file size to several hundred kilobytes. They claimed it has something to do with the temp dir where the file is being uploaded to. My suspect now is this issue has nothing to do with php. I'll bet I could write a cgi script as an action to the form and would encounter the same problem.

However I am on one now which is not allowing me to upload a file greater than 12kb. I know the upload_max_filesize is 2M but something else is stopping the upload and I don't have a clue what it is. I know you should include input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=3 in the above form but that is only a convenience for the user. This particular server is running php as a cgi module.
