Question

I am using an upload script that is working great:

ini_set('memory_limit', '256M');

function uploadImage($files_name, $files_tmp_name, $files_error, $files_type, $uploaded_photos_array, $image_type, $replace_position='69') { //Checks if the file uploaded correctly, saves the folder name to the DB, and calls the resizeAndPlaceFile 3 times     
    global $address;

    //If the directory doesn't exist, create it
    if (!is_dir('../images/uploads/temp/'.$address)) {
        mkdir('../images/uploads/temp/'.$address);
    }

    $myFile_original = $files_name; //Store the filename into a variable

    //Change the filename so it is unique and doesn't contain any spaces and is all lowercase
    $myFile = str_replace(' ', '_', $myFile_original); //change all spaces to underscores within a file name
    $myFile = strtolower($myFile); //Make all characters lowercase
    //$anyNum = rand(20,500789000); //Generate a random number between 20 and 500789000  
    //$newFileName = $anyNum.'_'.$myFile; //Combine the random number with the filename to create a unique filename
    $newFileName = $myFile;

    $info = pathinfo($newFileName); //Finds the extension of the filename
    $directory_name =  basename($newFileName,'.'.$info['extension']); //Removes the extension from the filename to use as the name of the directory

    $folder = '../images/uploads/temp/'.$address.'/'.$directory_name.'/'; //Folder to upload to

    //If the directory doesn't exist, create it
    if (!is_dir($folder)) {
        mkdir($folder);
    }


    //===Check if the File already exists======== 
    if (file_exists($folder.'large.jpg')) {
        echo $myFile_original." already exists.";
    } //******If file already exists in your Folder, It will return zero and Will not take any action===

    else { //======Otherwise File will be stored in your given directory and Will store its name in Database===


        //copy($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'],$folder.$newFileName); //===Copy File Into your given Directory,copy(Source,Destination)


        // Check if file was uploaded ok
        if(!is_uploaded_file($files_tmp_name) || $files_error !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
            exit('There was a problem uploading the file. Please try again.');
        } else {
            /*

                        $result = $conn->query($sql) or die($conn->error);

                        if($result > 0) { //====$res will be greater than 0 only when File is uploaded Successfully====:)
                            echo 'You have Successfully Uploaded File';
                        }
            */

When I try to upload any file above 2.1mb, it won’t upload the file and won’t display any error so I have no idea why it is not working. Why will my upload form not upload files over 2.1mb using php?

Answer 1

Check and change the following php.ini instructions:

memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 20M
