max uploads

is there a limit

[Scally_Ally]

Hi all,

I know this question has probably been asked before but i cant find any definitive answers anywhere.. Performance wise what is the maximum file size that can be uploaded by php? I know that you set it in php.ini file and i have full control of the server so i can change these settings when needed.

The program i am going to make is like a drop box for files between 50mb and 200mb, would this be a problem doing it with PHP upload? would any other applications be put at risk of shutting down if the user is uploading files? are there any modules / applets that would help the running of the upload system (animation to show how much has been uploaded?). Plus any other problems that i may come accross.

Any help greatly aprreciated.

I suppose it really would come down to your server as opposed to PHP. As well as the user's connection doing the uploading (this is where you might want to set an unlimited time limit). There is another thread running right now asking how to configure php.ini to upload big files [webmasterworld.com] that may also interest you.
