#20696 [Fbk->Opn]: Large File Upload problem $HTTP_POST_FILES["file_attachment"]["size"]

ID: 20696 User updated by: jason@hodfords.com Reported By: jason@hodfords.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux Red Hat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I've isolated the whole situation and I couldn't replicate the problem. However, I've found that it's because the filesize is stored to the mysql database and the field is mediumint(9), and when I increased it to BigInt(12), it started working....This is perhaps weird of Mysql.... Sorry to have bothered you. We've got the problem isolated. thanks for your time, I hope that we may be able to contribute something to PHP development one day. thanks, Jason.

But a phpinfo(); does show the new values of max_post_size, etc. Secondly, before the increased these values in php.ini, the script would not work and it would generate a file of 0 bytes. Thanks, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-28 05:28:10] sniper@php.net And are you sure that php.ini is really used by PHP? (check those values from phpinfo() output) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-28 05:27:34] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-28 05:15:49] jason@hodfords.com When uploading a large file > 8192K, this problem comes up. HTML Page <form action="testing.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type=File name="file_attachment" size=20 value=""> </form> Testing.php The variable of $HTTP_POST_FILES["file_attachment"]["size"] will equal 8192K if the uploaded file is greater than 8192K, however the file is say 4000K, then the variable $HTTP_POST_FILES["file_attachment"]["size"] will be equal to 4000K. We have made the necessary adjustments to php.ini. post_max_size = "14M" upload_max_filesize = "12M" We have increased the memory limit to "16M". Everything is working fine, except when the file size is greater than 8192K Thanks, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20696&edit=1
