Problem with uploading large files in PHP

Asked

I’ve already set my site’s php settings to upload limit size (post_max_size and upload_max_filesize). I put 1 Giga as a precaution for testing.

But when I try to upload a 30 megas file, the status bar shows the progress of the upload and I noticed that the browser tries to upload twice and then falls on an error page of the browser itself.

The upload always drops in different percentages, so I guess it’s no problem with space limits. And files up to 5 megas are being loaded normally without errors.

I normally perform ftp uploads of larger files.

Is this because of server instability? How does this process work and how do I control it? There is a way I persist more than 2 times the upload?

UPDATING

Answering the question, the server is apache. And the error time is 1 minute. In php info I looked for the number 60 (to see some 60-second timeout configured) and changed all I found for more. The error persists.

Follow my php settings:

[PHP]
asp_tags = On
include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear"
ignore_repeated_source = Off
variables_order = "EGPCS"
track_errors = On

    What is the error code of the browser, or message?

  • "This web page is not available". My upload php page is in the url, but a default browser error page opens.

  • Can be script execution timeout. Already tried set_time_limit?

  • I tried set_time_limit but it didn’t work either.

    The server is apache or IIS?

    Are you sure the configs are being applied? Take a look at phpinfo(). There is a chance that configs defined in ini are being overwritten elsewhere (php or htaccess file).

    I don’t know which server, but if Apache, take a look at the value of LimitRequestBody. If the file exceeds this value, it may be locked even before it reaches PHP. Link to the documentation.

  • Just to clarify, the size of files sent by PHP upload/post have no relation to those sent via FTP.

Configure this information in your PHP.ini:

upload_max_filesize 10M
post_max_size 10M
max_input_time 300
max_execution_time 300

Then set the constants in your code:

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '10M');
ini_set('max_input_time', 300);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);

Detail, always check by phpinfo(); if the information you are setting in php.ini is being applied, it is very common to set in the wrong php.ini.

Then this way you move up your file:

$name = 'arquivogrande.zip';

header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($name));

readfile($name);
exit;

If you keep running out of time, use the function set_time_limit ( temposegundos) to increase PHP running time.

That should be enough.

Going to the support of my hosting provider found that my server is shared and so it had blocks to upload larger files. It wasn’t my configuration’s problem.

You should edit in your file php.ini the two variables: post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in the standard PHP syntax format.

Example:

post_max_size = 100M

upload_max_filesize = 100M

  • Thank you friend, but these two variables were the ones I mentioned at the beginning of the question and are already due.

    @Joaopaulo, Try then: default_socket_timeout

  • I tried, but it didn’t work.

  • @Joaopaulo, when something like this happens, difficult to identify, I try to time, see the time spent from the beginning of the upload until the moment it is stopped, see if it is the same

  • put the upload PHP code to see how it is done.
