Load maximum size in PHP?

Question

Is it possible to upload ~ 100 MB files using PHP?

If so, what changes should happen in the configuration file ( php.ini )?

Sri

Answer 1

The following parameters are relevant:

• PHP: upload_max_filesize (only in php.ini or only .htaccess does not work with ini_set() )
• PHP: post_max_size (ditto)
• PHP: max_input_time (yes, thanks @Thorstein, forgot this)

and, perhaps,

• Apache: LimitRequestBody

Answer 2

In your php.ini adjust the value:

 file_uploads = On upload_max_filesize = 100M //needs to be in {x}M format 

And allow the size of large posts:

 post_max_size = 100M 

Answer 3

To increase the load using PHP, you have to change several parameters in the php.ini file (upload_max_filesize, max_input_time, memory_limit, max_execution_time, post_max_size). You can find the php.ini file under your PHP installation directory and get more information about the necessary settings here .

Answer 4

You just need to change the server timeout and the maximum file size in the php.ini file.

EDIT: You may not need to change the server timeout, as this will depend on which server you are running on.

Answer 5

Just wanted to add that if your project also uses ngnix, you may have to add client_max_body_size 100M; to your nginx.conf, since by default nginx is only 1 MB - in addition to the PHP settings mentioned above. I use the ".user.ini" file at the root level of my projects to change a few parameters that I want to override from the default "php.ini" file.

I use dokku and found it in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and added an extra line via nano nginx.conf .
I do not use nginx directly, but my buildpack adds it.

Hope this helps someone :)
