I read somewhere that the upload limit for php is about 2MBs. Does this still apply if I am asking a user to upload a file to the server to scan through and convert to a string? If so how do I get around this?
The application for this is a scanner type deal where users would be able to upload a code file, and this php application would scan through the code and look for certain comments to document and write to a documentation file.
The upload limits are configured in the php.ini file, see this: http://www.radinks.com/upload/config.php
Yes it would apply to any file that is being uploaded by the user, regardless of what your server side app does with it. 🙂
The upload limit can be changed by modifying the settings in php.ini file.
