Hi, plz help me in this case,

An error is there!

Error:The uploaded file exceeds the maximum allowed size in your PHP configuration file

My code is:

$config[’upload_path’] = ‘./resources/admin_videos’;
$config[’allowed_types’] = ‘mp3’;
$config[’max_size’] = ‘500000’;
$config[’overwrite’] = false;

$this->upload->initialize($config);
$this->load->library(’upload’, $config);
if(!$this->upload->do_upload($video))
{
$error = array(’error’ => $this->upload->display_errors());
return $error;
}
else
{
$data = array(’upload_data’ => $this->upload->data());
$video_path =$data[’upload_data’][’file_name’];

}
////////// also included
‘mp3’ => array(’audio/mpeg’, ‘audio/mpg’)but no result.

Any guy who know the solu.

Hi JamZee,
The problem is in your php configuration, not in CI’s upload config. Simply change upload_max_filesize in your php.ini, e.g.:

upload_max_filesize = 10M

You may have a problem changing the upload max size on a shared host. Some give you easy access to the php.ini or allow you to override it with an .htaccess file, but it just depends on the server.

thnx Guys, i have change my php.ini from server but in phpinfo it shows yet 2M , Why?
prob. is still on
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 20M
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

ok i get it..
After inc. size in php.ini fle. Restart the system makes it posible now i can upload upto 50 M
thnx guys…....

You can also use

ini_set('upload_max_filesize','20M');

in your script, useful if one doesn’t have access to edit php.ini

You can also use

ini_set('upload_max_filesize','20M');

in your script, useful if one doesn’t have access to edit php.ini

You really can’t do that… take a look here, upload_max_filesize is changeable PHP_INI_PERDIR, so you can change it on your php.ini or using .htaccess, the best solution if you can’t modify your php.ini.

You can not use it on the run because the upload itself happens before the php file execution

I’m having a problem with filesize exceeding the limit, but its not throwing an error to the upload library.
Instead my apache error log tells what happened and the web served result is a completely blank screen.

Please advice.

I’d suggest using the following to handle large uploads rather than changing the PHP settings.

http://don.citarella.net/index.php/actionscript-examples/flash-file-uploader/

It gives feedback (unlike standard PHP) and lets you get around the max_filesize thing pretty easily.

Where would you put the .htaccess file?  Would you use the same .htaccess file that removes the index.php etc?

In the past I’ve put some PHP.ini overrides in the root .htaccess and they’ve worked fine. Basically wherever your script is running from (in this case the index.php file) at that level or above, up to the root level.

Where would you put the .htaccess file?

Most likely in the root directory of CI.

Would you use the same .htaccess file that removes the index.php etc?

Yes, thats probably the best spot.

What would the syntax be to post this script in the .htaccess file?

I ask because popping

upload_max_filesize = 10M

into the .htaccess file instantly causes the whole site to crap out with a 500 internal server error.

Cheers.

In an HTACESS file:

php_value post_max_size 30M
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M

The server may still throw an error. Some servers don’t allow changing PHP values in the HTACESS file.
