ID: 16400 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: cmoneti@twcny.rr.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Assigned -Bug Type: HTTP related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux RH7.1 PHP Version: 4.1.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: sander New Comment: It is settable in a script, but it just doesn't have any effect. Reopening as a documentation problem and assigning to myself. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 17:26:09] cmoneti@twcny.rr.com So, you are saying that the max filesize for uploads cannot be set in script? Perhaps the documentation is confusing me. Would you explain what the ini_set parameter "upload_max_filesize" is used for? The documentation for ini_set() says this parameter is settable via script (PHP_INI_ALL). Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 12:31:35] sander@php.net PHP decides whether a file is accepted BEFORE your script runs. The changes to php.ini with ini_set() are made AFTER the uploads are processed by PHP, and thus have no effect on the the decision. This is intended behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 11:02:09] cmoneti@twcny.rr.com After further investigation, I have found that ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "15M") or ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "15000000") or ini_set("upload_max_filesize", 15000000) does not work. If I change the setting in php.ini, the uploads work. So, ini_set seems to be the culprit. The cutoff size _was_ the default 2M in php.ini. If "upload_max_filesize" cannot be set via a script, it is an unfortunate problem. I also tried setting ini_set("memory_limit","15M") and wonder about "post_max_size" (no detailed documentation). However, I didn't need to change them to make things work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 01:40:02] torben@php.net Does it work with other file types of similar size to the MP3s which you are uploading? i.e. are you sure it's not a max_file_size problem? Torben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-02 17:06:52] cmoneti@twcny.rr.com I am using PHP4.2.0RC1. When referencing .mp3 file uploads, the $_FILES[name]['tmp_name'] is empty, and $_FILES[name][size] is 0. When referencing other file types, everything works fine. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16400&edit=1
