Note Submitter: info at jenom dot com Reason: unreadable ---- For error-free file uploads: ============================ 'post_max_size' - ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. See 'php.ini' normally in /etc 'upload_max_filesize' - ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. See 'php.ini' normally in /etc 'LimitRequestBody' - # Sets the file size limit for uploads via forms and such. See 'php.conf' normally in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ 'LimitRequestBody' needs to be set in bytes, 'post_max_size' and 'upload_max_filesize' can be set in shorthand (ex. 10M) Also, 'post_max_size' should to be set to a higher value than 'upload_max_filesize' since post_max_size includes all the data being submitted by the form whereas upload_max_filesize refers only to the size of the file being uploaded. So if there are additional fields in the form being submitted (upload_max_filesize + data from other fields = post_max_size). If upload_max_filesize = post_max_size you could get unexpected results, if there is other data being sumitted. 'LimitRequestBody' corresponds with 'upload_max_filesize' those two values can be the same. In the actual html <form> block in your upload form you need to have: '<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="$max_filesize">' BEFORE '<input type="file" name="upload_file_name" size="50">' To have the $max_file_size correspond to your php.ini and php.conf settings automatically, use the function below <?php $max_filesize = parse_shorthand_size( ini_get('upload_max_filesize') ); function parse_shorthand_size( $sizein ) { //-> Parse shorthand size values like 10K, 10M, 10G $sizeout = 0; $_arrsizes = array( 'k' => 10, 'm' => 20, 'g' => 30, 't' => 40, 'p' => 50, 'e' => 60, 'z' => 70, 'y' => 80, ); if ( preg_match('/^([\d\.]+)([gmk])?$/i', $sizein, $n) ) { // If shorthand was used: if ( isset($n['2']) ) { // $n[0] - original value, $n[1] - size (int), $n[2] - units K, M, G $unit_of_measure = strtolower($n['2']); // k - kilobytes, m - megabytes, g - GIGABYTES ... y - Yotta (pronounced Yoda!!! O_O) $sfactor = ( isset($_arrsizes[$unit_of_measure]) ) ? $_arrsizes[$unit_of_measure] : 0; $sizeout = intval($n['1']) * ( pow(2, $sfactor) ); //-> PHP uses pow( number $base, number $exp ) to calculate exponents } else { //-> If shorthand was NOT used $sizeout = ( isset($n['1']) ) ? $n['1'] : 0; } } return $sizeout; } //-> end... function parse_shorthand_size( $sizein ) ?> I have learned a lot from all of you, time to give a little back. Keep up the great work.
