[thelist] file upload class problems

This is really helpful, I am not an expert on the ini file stuff. I also
need to set the time out, as Jeremy suggested because some of these files
are ridiculously large, the biggest one so far is 65 MB, which seems really
ridiculous, so the timeout has to be huge, this file is taking over an hour
for me to upload using an ftp program! If I don't set a large timeout time,
the server still chokes on the upload.
 
Thanks for your help.
Nan

Hi Nan,

It's not always convenient (or desired) to change php.ini settings directly,
as these affect *all* php scripts on the server.

You can do this on a script by script (or application by application) basis
by using ini_set() http://nz.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

For example, for the scripts you're using, you could add something like this
in the class constructor instead of needing to alter php.ini
directly:


ini_set('memory_limit', '100M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '100M');
ini_set('file_uploads', 'On');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100M');

:)
