php file uploads

[lildog 3]

I am working on a contrib to handle the new washington state destinations tax law. I am using a form to upload a 7 meg file and then uncompress it. When expanded it is a 45meg file. I am getting an error that says my connection is being interupted during the upload. This form works for smaller files. I am also using php 4.x.x on a shared server, so don't have access to php.ini.

 

any ideas? let me know if you need more info.

You could try using the php set_time_limit function by adding it to the first line of the script you are using.

I sometimes have to use it for large easypopulate csv files.

 

It should override the server time limit.

Thank you very much for the reply. I thought that was it...but it was not. So close.....

There are more issues/settings than timing out (MAX_FILE_SIZE the likely culprit). See the PHP site on Handling file uploads.

Max size allowed can be shecked thru server info.

 

time out can be increased as stated in above comments.
