Re: [PHP] File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs
Sukhwinder Singh wrote: You don't appear to have read what I said. A Java applet can use FTP to upload the file - PHP does not get involved in that part. Once the upload is complete the applet can POST to your PHP file giving it information like where it's put the file and this other information you need to give it so it can rename the file. This is the only bit PHP gets involved in and it doesn't involve trying to upload 4 gig over a machanism that was never designed for it. Thanks again for replying. I have read. I have been trying to find out way for last two days. I can say about jupload and how it seems to work. It uploads file to server in a temporary directory. It has postURL parameter. Then it POSTS the data to php file. Because it POSTS, the php configuration values comes into question. Here is an example: Settings in php.ini are 50M for upload_max_fisesize and 50M for post_max_size. I used japplet and uploaded a 51.89 MB file. This is what is in error log. [08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 54414946 bytes exceeds the limit of 52428800 bytes in Unknown on line 0 [08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Notice: Undefined index: File0 in E:\projects\ice\post_test.php on line 13 File0 is the first file in $_FILES array, as POST fails I don't get that array. I uploaded a 48 MB file and it worked without any problem. Ok, I think I see where your confusion is coming from. I'm not suggesting that the applet I'm describing already exists - it would be something you'd have to write or commission someone to write for you. Every existing file upload applet I've ever come across uses HTTP POST to upload the files, but this is not what you need. It will almost certainly have to be a bespoke solution. Another way you might approach it would be to define a naming convention for uploaded files and accept them via normal FTP upload. The user then visits your website and fills in a form that will tell your PHP script where to find the file as well as giving it the other information it needs. Setting up a secure write-only FTP server is well documented on the net, but is well beyond the scope of this mailing list. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I also think that the thing about memory limit is not true these days. I have been able to upload 3.28 gb file with memory limit specified as 128 MB.

Re: [PHP] File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs
A beeter method is to send the file via ftp. I think most browsers allow this. And for example store the file in a user specific file. Then the user, via a web interface, select the file it has uploaded and do the rest of the operations you need. Along with uploading the file I also have to pass other information to update the database to associate that file with some user etc. What kind of ftp method you are suggesting?

A Java applet can use FTP to handle the upload and still pass meta data about the file as an HTTP POST request. There is no requirement to use HTTP to upload the file from a Java applet. It is not about how data is going to be transferred but it is about php having a limit on what it can accept as POST. But we'll see how it works out. I'll let everyone know.

Even java applets have to hand over the file to some script, in this case php and php will get it in $_FILES array it seems (in case of japplet). so the problem will remain. Not at all true. A Java applet can use FTP to handle the upload and still pass meta data about the file as an HTTP POST request. There is no requirement to use HTTP to upload the file from a Java applet. -Stut - Original Message - From: Stut [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sukhwinder Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 8:56 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs Sukhwinder Singh wrote: Thanks for your reply. So you are saying I cannot do it using php. These files have to be uploaded locally but using web interface and I have to pass some parameters along with file upload to update the database after upload is successful. Also I have to rename the file after it is uploaded. Any utility which allows this? Sounds like you need a Java applet. I have little experience with this, but I know that quite a few exist. I have no idea if any of them support sending meta data with the upload. I suggest you start Googling. -Stut - Original Message - From: Stut [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Sukhwinder Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 8:35 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs Sukhwinder Singh wrote: I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be as big as 4 GB. But when I try to set post_max_size = 4G upload_max_filesize = 4G in php.ini, it doesn't work and everything in post (posted data) is ignored. I get a warning about size of posted data greater than some negative number. I read somewhere that php stores this data in integer. I have tested it on 64 bit system (php 5.1.6 installed on Mandriva 2007.0) as well as 32 bit system (php 5.2.2 installed on windows xp sp2). Value up to, I think, 2147483647 bytes or ( around 1.999.. gb) works We need to allow uploading of 4 GB files. Is there any solution. Yeah, don't use HTTP. Seriously, HTTP is a crappy mechanism for uploading files, especially large ones. And by large ones I mean ~20MB!! You need to look into maybe a java applet, or just plain FTP/SFTP/SCP for files that big. HTTP was never designed to handle uploading files of that size. For a start there is no facility to restart the upload should it get interrupted and fail. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A Java applet can use FTP to upload the file - PHP does not get involved in that part. Once the upload is complete the applet can POST to your PHP file giving it information like where it's put the file and this other information you need to give it so it can rename the file. This is the only bit PHP gets involved in and it doesn't involve trying to upload 4 gig over a machanism that was never designed for it. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have been trying to find out way for last two days. I can say about jupload and how it seems to work. It uploads file to server in a temporary directory. It has postURL parameter. Then it POSTS the data to php file. Because it POSTS, the php configuration values comes into question. Here is an example: Settings in php.ini are 50M for upload_max_fisesize and 50M for post_max_size. I used japplet and uploaded a 51.89 MB file. This is what is in error log. [08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 54414946 bytes exceeds the limit of 52428800 bytes in Unknown on line 0 [08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Notice: Undefined index: File0 in E:\projects\ice\post_test.php on line 13 File0 is the first file in $_FILES array, as POST fails I don't get that array. I uploaded a 48 MB file and it worked without any problem.
