Image Uploading Problem

[lakshmivijay]

Hi

How to upload greater than 1mb file.its giving error for big size files.


How to upload max file size images.

Thanks for any help.

You have to edit your "post_max_size" and "upload_max_filesize" in your php.ini file then restart apache.

Already post_max_size 8m and upload_max_filesize 2m

but its not taking 1mb file also.

Are you uploading them to a database? Are there any errors in your Apache/PHP/DB error logs?

[lakshmivijay]

NO i'm uploading this to folder.i'm not getting any error message.
but files are not uploading to folder.

can you post the code you're using to upload/move the files?

You're doing it by having a form, right?

This is my code

$uploadDir = '../articles/';;

if(isset($_POST['upload']))
{
$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$tmpName = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $_FILES['userfile']['size'];
$fileType = $_FILES['userfile']['type'];

$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;

$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);
if (!$result) {
echo "Error uploading file";
exit;
}
}

?>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="350" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="box">
<tr>
<td width="246">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile">
</td>
<td width="80"><input name="upload" type="submit" class="box" id="upload" value=" Upload "></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

First thing that I noticed was here:

$uploadDir = '../articles/';; 

You shouldn't have two semicolons and the file destination has to be in terms of the server, so use

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] 

and put your location in from there, so if on your site the location was "/articles/" then use

$uploadDir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/articles/"; 

Use $_FILES['userfile']['error'] to get more detailed errors rather than "Error uploading file", that might help find the problem.

I hope that solves it.

relative links have always worked for me

[blue-eye-labs]

oh, I've always had that problem that they just wouldn't work until I put $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in, and then they worked fine. I kept getting thrown permissions errors.

i changed my code according to ur post ,still i'm getting errors.

Small Size files are uploading but 1mb or greater than 1mb files are not uploading.

[TJ111]

Are there any errors in the PHP or Apache error logs when you upload photos > 1mb?

[lakshmivijay]

Page can't be found is coming.when i refresh the page its coming html form
i'm not getting any errors.

[TJ111]

so your getting a page not found error when you submit the form?

have tried setting your form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">

[lakshmivijay]

I tried ur code its not working.
but small size files are uploading properly.greater than 1m files are not uploading.
