File upload error(PHP)

[jacob]

i get the file upload error when i tried to upload large files

i have tried increasing the max_file size in php.ini file, but it is not working.

error "Unable to open 'none' for reading: No such file or directory

what is the exact size of the files? over 8192 bytes? what size does it let you upload to? (assuming smaller files work)

may have something to do with the buffer size of your socket... (does php have sockets?)

the only setting for php is in the php.ini file itself, .. but regardless, it is still uploading via http. now the question is does the server software have a limit on it for http uploads ?

i'll look through my apache config, but i don't remember seeing anything.

hey jacob, what type of server are you running?


btw.. welcome to codenewbie

ah hah.. could it be possible that it is timming out before the file can upload? there are 2 places where your server will timeout.. 1 in php itself, and one in apache ( if you are using apache )

php.ini
----------------------------------
max_execution_time = 30 // seconds

httpd.conf
---------------------------------
Timeout 300

the other php.ini settings are:
--------------------------------------
file_uploads = on
upload_max_filesize = 10M

let us know if it works or not.

I can't speak for the other ones, but this would give you a time out error. I was doing some array manipulation and it was taking a little too long, so it kept telling me that php script was timing out. I just bumped it to 60 seconds, and now it works. I just hope this is enough because any longer and I would go insane.

i am just showing those as the parameters to edit. 30 seconds is the default, so yes, 60 seconds might be the first change he should make.

it seems odd that 30 seconds is not enough for some array manipulation, unless you are manipulating many many many arrays. i've never needed more than 30 seconds unless i was doing some pretty big sql dumps via https though phpmyadmin or something, .. but the better solution for that is just to do the dump in a shell.

I was manipulating an array that was 1440+ values. I later found away to do it with MySql, and it freed up most of the time. I stink with MySql, but i have learned a lot.

PLatform---windows NT
webserver----IIS
php ver 4


upload_max_filesize =16M( php.ini file)

In upload form i gave max_file_size as hidden variable with value 16M.

i tried to upload file of size 3.2MB and got error

"Unable to open 'none' for reading: No such file or directory "
