Question

well I can upload image, mp3, mp4, .doc file etc with the following form. But it’s doesn’t upload .flv file. Anyone can tell me what is the problem in my code or how can i upload .flv..

<?php

$mysql_connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root" );
mysql_select_db("vedio");

ini_set('upload_max_filesize','1000M');

if(isset($_POST['action']) == "upload")
{
$name = $_FILES['file']['name'];    
$tmp_name = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];    
$size = $_FILES['file']['size'];    
$type = $_FILES['file']['type'];    
$name = str_replace(" ", "", $name);



                $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO content VALUES('', 
'$name', '$tmp_name', '$size' )");  
                if($sql)
                {
                    echo "successfully uploaded";   
                }
                else
                {
                    echo "Something is wrong to upload";    
                }



$upload = "vedio/";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $upload . $name);
echo "<br/>";
echo $name; 
echo "<br/>";
echo $tmp_name;
echo "<br/>";
echo $size;
echo "<br/>";
echo $type;

}

?>



<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"    
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000000000" />
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><input type="file" name="file" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="upload" name="action" /></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>

Many Thanks.

My guess is your flv is probably just too big..

upload_max_filesize alone is not enough to set, you also need to set post_max_size otherwise your POST request will be empty and your upload will fail (it’ll essentially look like a non-post request).
