Hi, newbie in php and phpMyFAQ like to know what's the maximum file size allowed for uploads on embedded media?
So far I was able to modify my ini.php to 20mb and I was able to upload files as big as 7mb but I tried 12mb and 17mb and didn't work. So I'm thinking there must be a limit somewhere other than ini.php. Can someone help clarifying what else needs to be configure to upload bigger files like video.mov of 35mb?

HI,
depends on your PHP configuration. Theoretically 2 GB are possible.

Ok if 2GB is the max file size upload, why is 12mb not loading since I've have modified my ini.php to 200mb. Is there some more setting to change?
Code: Select all
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. Default upload_max_filesize = 2M
upload_max_filesize = 200M

No I didn't, but now that you mention it I'll check;
This was on my ini.php
Code: Select all
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M
now I changed it to;
Code: Select all
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 200M
And tried again with a 12MB file and
this time did worked!!!
Now my only concern is if charging it to 200M will affect anything else on the system? if not i'm good to go
Thank you for you prompt help

Hi,
no, it just increases the size of POST requests handled by PHP
