I think what he means is PHP's built in script execution time limitations and so on. One thing that you can do is dynamically alter the max execution time and memory limits during the upload process based on the file size.

[symfony-users] Re: How to manage big uploads
Think of a website with a video gallery, managed by the site administrator who is a regular user with no particular interest on learning what FTP is and how to use it. Or, simply, because you want to give him a web integrated management with no external tools. Think of a dedicated server with no hard drive limits whatsoever, unlimited infinite disk space. Now imagine the admin wants to upload a 200MB video that will be processed by the application to grab a preview picture, get duration, ... and publish it as flash video on the "latest vídeos" section of the web. How do you manage a 200Mb file upload using http and php only? And more importan, is it really the best way to work with such big uploads?

Thanks, Gareth and Deepak, but Im not searching for php.ini configurarion and there is no code i can show. Im asking for the best practice when it comes to uploading big files such as video files.

[symfony-users] Re: How to manage big uploads
I do it exactly like you described. I have no code to share, but you can really look in the php.ini settings especially on the settings upload_max_filesize post_max_size There is no magic. Metadata from the uploaded video i am retrieving with ffmpeg-php and I never need to increase the max_execution_time (because I never process the video in a web request). If you would like to use some kind of progressbar for user, you need to find your uploader (uploadify, swfupload) or you can do it yourself for example with APC. There are many example on the internet. ~ Miloslav Kmeť Dňa Št 29. október 2009 Gorka napísal: > Thanks, Gareth and Deepak, but Im not searching for php.ini > configurarion and there is no code i can show.

[symfony-users] Re: How to manage big uploads
The "best practice" is really restricted by your project requirements. If you can use flash components to do the job, then that is probably best. If your limited to PHP then ini_set is something you need to consider as large files that take a long time to load will cause PHP's script execution time limits and memory limits to kick in, thats why I pointed it out.

As Gareth already pointed out, one strategy would be to alter the max upload and execution limits so the upload happens as a normal POST. If you're willing to use Flash, there are components that will upload and show progress too. -- --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
