From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows 98 PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: max_execution_time affects large uploads
I recently upgraded PHP 4.1.2 to PHP 4.2 on my local Windows computer and it works a lot better for large uploads (no more huge RAM usage, etc). However I noticed that on this new version the max_execution_time setting counts the upload time, which doesn't make sense since the PHP script is called only after the file has been uploaded on the temp directory. set_time_limit() doesn't solve the problem since the time expires right before the script is called. For example if I set max_execution_time to 10 seconds and upload a 50Mb file, the file will take 20-30 seconds to be uploaded (remember, this is a local upload) and at the end I'll get a "Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded" error. This would force anyone who wish to upload large files on a remote server to set the max_execution_time setting to 10 *minutes* or more, which, again, does not make sense. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16880&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16880&r=submittedtwice
