Question

i’ve created a video upload form and it seems that i get a limit error. Is this not hte way to create the form element?

$file = new Zend_Form_Element_File('file');
$file->setLabel('File')
          ->setRequired(true)
          ->setDestination('/var/www/tmp')
          ->addValidator('Size',
            false,
            array('min' => '10kB', 'max' => '100MB'));
$file->addValidator('Extension', false, 'avi,mov,wmv,mpeg,mp4,flv,mpg');

the error i get when uploading a 3MB file is: File 'file' exceeds the defined ini size.

any ideas how to solve this issue?

Answer 1

This is down to a setting in php.ini upload_max_filesize not your validator

You also want to make sure post_max_size is appropriate

Also note upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are of type PHP_INI_PERDIR, which means “Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf”. So you can’t set it in your script.

• .htaccess will only work if allow by webserver
