Since download the members uploads,advanced uploads infusion and file manager infusion I have, after weeks of sleepless nights found out there is a limit to the uploads and downloads for php on most servers, about 8mb,

Please could you tell me why this isnt in the read me files of the infusions, personally I think this should be added as file sizes are getting larger now most people have broadband.

Is there any way an ftp infusion could be made for large files ?

Bit gutted about this tbh, is this a drawback with php, I have ftped a file of 50mb up to my server, but I can
t even linked to it in php, normal html link works.

Any help with this ?

You cant modify the max upload file size with an infusion. That is a setting in php.ini global configuration. If you dont own the server hosting your site ask the admins if they can change it to a higher value.
If you host it on your own computer/server php.ini should look like this:

Quote

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M


Change it to your liking like (example):

Quote

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 20M


After you changed that restart the apache and you are all set. However keep in mind that most of the hosting providers will not change that value easily.
I hope this helps you

Sincerely
Andy

Thank you very much for your reply,

I will keep this in mind for future reference, at present I am working with a perl script for larger uploads, not sure if this will work beacuse of the page still being php, if it does ill put under Open beta for testing, I host with Pipex and they wont allow for large browser based uploads.

Thank you for your help with this, very much appreciated.

Neil
