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?

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?
Thanks,
Sukhwinder Singh

I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be as big as 4

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.
