Quoting Angelo Zanetti <angelo@elemental.co.za>:
Hi all We are pitching to develop a website where the admin has to upload big video files but I'm not sure how this can be done as the file upload will most probably time out. How do current websites do it? Is there somehow a way to make use of FTP to transfer the files? Any links, help, advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Angelo http://www.elemental.co.zaUploading big files should not be a problem. Make sure the some .ini settings are correct for you: max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. post_max_size = 8M The first 3 you can set with ini_set. You could of course use the ftp functionality available in PHP. http://nl3.php.net/ftp
