Bug #17606 Updated: File upload fails on large files

ID: 17606 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: luimarma@iti.upv.es -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: RedHat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Yeah, this is known behaviour. PHP reads the whole uploaded file into memory before writing it to disk. Not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 07:55:28] luimarma@iti.upv.es The first problem was solved (now memory_limit is used) as it was a configuration problem. The second problem still stays. The upload eats system memory until memory_limit. If I am using a tmp dir why does this happen? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 07:09:49] luimarma@iti.upv.es Upload fails regardless the value of memory_limit value. I am using the following values for post file uploading: memory_limit = 10M post_max_size = 10M file_uploads = On upload_max_filesize = 10M allow_url_fopen = On Uploading anything bigger than a pair of megs fails I have also tried with php-4.1.2-7 but then I could only upload till memory_limit value, and the upload tmp dir is only used when the whole file is in memory, so I can only upload files up to the amount of memory y have in the system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17606&edit=1
