FLV Upload

Hi Guys!

I manage to do a video upload. The strange thing is that. When i try to upload a video, it give me an error that says I've exceed the size limit. But when i check my folder, it is actually being uploaded but my database is not uploaded.

Is there any code that will allow me to set no limit to the upload file?

For reference, the upload script is here:

//define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); 

//This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file  is an image by checking the extension.
function getExtension($str) {
         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
}

//This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no error  found)  
//and it will be changed to 1 if an errro occures.  
//If the error occures the file will not be uploaded.
$errors=0;
//checks if the form has been submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) 
{
	//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
	$image=$_FILES['video']['name'];
	//if it is not empty
	if ($image) 
	{
	//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
		$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['video']['name']);
	//get the extension of the file in a lower case format
  		$extension = getExtension($filename);
		$extension = strtolower($extension);
	//if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not  upload the file,  
//otherwise we will do more tests
if (($extension != "flv") && ($extension != "mp4")) 
		{
	//print error message
			echo '<h1>Unknown Extension!</h1>';
			$errors=1;
		}
		else
		{
//get the size of the image in bytes
//$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file
//in which the uploaded file was stored on the server
$size=filesize($_FILES['video']['tmp_name']);

//compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger
if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}

//we will give an unique name, for example the time in unix time format
$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
//the new name will be containing the full path where will be stored (images folder)
$newname="videos/".$image_name;
//we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead
$copied = copy($_FILES['video']['tmp_name'], $newname);
if (!$copied) 
{
echo '<h1>Copy Unsuccessfull!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}}}}
//If no errors registred, print the success message
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && !$errors) 
{
$Title = $_POST["Title"];
$Pages = $_POST["Pages"];

$SQL = "INSERT INTO videos (title, source, page) VALUES ('$Title','$newname','$Pages')";

if (!mysql_query($SQL,$conn))
  {
  die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
header('Location: admin_videos.php');
}

Have you seen the first line of your script?

How do i set it to unlimited? instead of 100 i put 0?

i guess leave it like define ("MAX_SIZE","");??

That gives me a blank page which i assume didnt proceed with the upload process. Because i got a big FLV file to upload onto my database and my folder. At least limit it to 100MB? I tried putting 50000 with unlimited zeros and it doesnt work as well. Any suggestions?

Have a look at upload_max_filesize in your php.ini file as well.

Hi. I am going to upload my file onto a webserver and i believe on the webserver, it doesn't contain php.ini. Only .htaccess.

I did some reading of my own and understand .htaccess helps. Unfortunately, my web server directory doesnt contain .htaccess on the subfolder, can i create and paste on the subfolder? If so, how do i create a .htaccess file? And what should i include in it?

Is this right?

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M

php_value post_max_size 100M

php_value max_execution_time 1000

php_value max_input_time 1000

Then on my process page? Do i need to do anything? Like change the define size or so?

I read online regarding uploading of large files. It says edit or create .htaccess file. Here is what in my .htaccess:

php_value max_execution_time 1000

php_value max_input_time 1000

php_value post_max_size 100M

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M

And in my upload process script. Here is the limitation i've edit. Is this right? Because after making this changes, when i try to upload them, it give me a blank page which means no input is being processed. What is wrong with it?

//define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MAX_SIZE","102400");

102400 is equals to 100MB right? I have a video which is 92.8MB and when i try to upload it, it cant be processed. Please help! Thanks.
