I need to prove to my sys admin that max_input_time in php.ini is what’s stopping me from uploading large files to the server, but he wont increase it until I show him a proper error.

I looked at the manual but couldn’t find anything about it.

Does anyone know of a method for proving this?

Thank you

    In php.ini we see their possible values:

    ; max_input_time
;   Default Value: -1 (Unlimited)
;   Development Value: 60 (60 seconds)
;   Production Value: 60 (60 seconds)

    So check if is set to -1 (Unlimited time) uploading and running a script with:

    <?php
// show current local and master values for PHP directives.
phpinfo(4);
?>

    If you still believe that this value is the source of your pain, try to increase it by your own:

    max_input_time is changeable PHP_INI_PERDIR that means “Entry can
    be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf”

    So you can try in .htaccess:

    php_value max_input_time 120

    OBS: In any case you can check the following post about all PHP directives relative to uploading files: http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php
