what happens when you use the filereference or file class?

hi, I use code like this: http://hub.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-a-reusable-flash-uploader-with-actionscript-30-and-php--a...
it's using php and I can upload with that about 150 MB and I fully don't know how to upload large files. (> 2 GB)

[kglad]

you're making a web based app?

what happens (error message) when file size exceeds 150mb?

[peterpetr4]

1. yes

2. I'm getting error message from php

if( $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] == 0 ){ 

  if(move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploads_dir.$_FILES['Filedata']['name'] ) ){ 

  echo 'ok'; 

  exit(); 

  } 

  } 

  echo 'error';    // Overhere

  exit();

if the error is from php it's a server limit, not a flash limit.

you need to adjust your php.ini or .htaccess file upload limit.

not working, is there any other way to make large file uploader in Flash?

I found out that you can't upload more than 200 MB with php because of it's server side language and that you have to use Javascript with JQuery plugin, but I don't know how to use JQuery with Flash.

the limit is set by the server, not php and not flash. 

the upload can be set in php.ini and possible .htaccess.

send an email to your server's admin/support and see you can do anything about the server's upload file size limit.

I'm not sure if my php.ini is set up properly but everytime it froze at 1% of uploading.

[kglad]

you control your server and can restart it?

you're really cool now I can upload large files. I've uploaded successfuly 2.90 GB file on localhost.

What I did is that I've added these lines to .htaccess file.

php_value  upload_max_filesize  8G

php_value  post_max_size  16G

php_value  memory_limit  24G

but now I don't know how to edit .htaccess file at GoDaddy.com hosting.

PS. thank you very much for your help

you're welcome.

contact support at godaddy and see if they allow you to change the upload limits.
