[PHP] Changing the php.ini file

2003-11-05 Thread Mike At Spy

I changed a value for max uploads in my php.ini file (linux box); I
restarted apache, then the whole server, to get the new value to come up
and, generally, take affect.

Neither of those things did it.  Does anyone know what I need to do to get
the ini file re-read by the OS, or system, so that the new value goes into
effect?

Thanks,

-Mike

In your upload dialog form do you have something similar to this

input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=3

if so, it may need changing. If not, it may need adding.

I do have that in my form, it is set to 15 megs.  I set the server (php.ini)
to allow 15 megs.  Still can't get anything past 2 megs to upload. :\

Thanks for help,

-Mike

post_max_size is another setting that has effect on uploads. It should 
be higher than upload_max_filesize.

Take a look at the first block of the output from phpinfo() and make 
sure you were editing the correct php.ini file. Actually, make sure the 
phpinfo() still shows the old value for your setting and you're really 
sure you're changes haven't taken effect.

Make sure it isn't Apache doing the limiting, also. Some searching will 
tell you the setting, but Apache has a limit itself on the size of files 
it'll accept.

RE: [PHP] Changing the php.ini file

2003-11-05 Thread Mike At Spy

I re-checked the files - nothing I change in the php.ini files seems to take
effect.  How do I check apache?

I saw the post_max_size thing and changed that to be equal to the
upload_max_filesize.  I'll make it a little higher.

Outside of that, I have a cobalt raq4 I am working on with this, and the
php.ini file is here:

/usr/local/bin/php.ini

Any other place an ini file might be?  I've certainly learned not to depend
on 'whereis' to list everything in the past.

:)

Thanks fot the help,

-Mike

Where the php.ini is located is not the issue here. The issue is where php is 
expecting it to be. Search the archives (try using php.ini mac) for tips on 
how to determine this.

That's all possibly irrelevant.  Have you looked at your phpinfo() output to
see where PHP is *expecting* to find the php.ini file?  And is there a
php.ini file there?

Cheers!

Bingo.  I didn't even notice that the phpinfo was saying the ini file was in
a different directory than the one I was looking at.

So much for 'whereis' - again. :\

:)

Thanks!

From the command line Mike try 'locate php.ini' (drop the quotes).
You'll be surprised at what you might see.
