POST Content-Length exceeds the limit

I get similar errors in my error_log in php when users are uploading their files

PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 11933650 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

In my php.ini (created custom ini file in public_html) would开发者_Go百科 this solve this problem, how much would I have to set it to around 1GB? I am going to change my settings to this in php.ini, will it solve the problem?

upload_max_filesize = 1000M ;1GB
post_max_size = 1000M

What would I set the 'memory_limit' limit to.

Also would this be correct in my script to check file uploaded size is <1GB

if($_FILES["uploadedfile"]["size"]<1000000)

8388608 bytes is 8M, the default limit in PHP. Those changes to php.ini should indeed solve the problem (make sure your restart your Apache server after making them).

Memory limit shouldn't need to be changed here.

I suggest that you should change to post_max_size from 8M to 32M in the php.ini file.

you just setting at php.ini

then set :

upload_max_filesize = 1000M;
post_max_size = 1000M;

then restart your xampp.. Check the image

Try pasting this to .htaccess and it should work.

php_value post_max_size 2000M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2500M
php_value max_execution_time 6000000
php_value max_input_time 6000000
php_value memory_limit 2500M

post_max_size should be slightly bigger than upload_max_filesize, because when uploading using HTTP POST method the text also includes headers with file size and name, etc.

If you want to successfully uppload 1GiB files, you have to set:

upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1025M

Note, the correct suffix for GB is G, i.e. upload_max_filesize = 1G.

No need to set memory_limit.

In Some cases, you need to increase the maximum execution time.

max_execution_time=30

I made it

max_execution_time=600000

then I was happy.

There might be more than just one php.ini file. For example, when using WAMP there are 2 php.ini files in following directories:

• C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
• C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12

You need to edit the first one.

I disagree, but the solution to increase the file size in php.ini or .htaccess won't work if the user sends a file larger than allowed by the server application.

I suggest validating this on the front end. For example:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $ ('#your_input_file_id').bind('change', function() {
        var fileSize = this.files[0].size/1024/1024;
        if (fileSize > 2) { // 2M
            alert('Your custom message for max file size exceeded');
            $('#your_input_file_id').val('');
        }
    });
});

If you are using Php 5.6.X versions in windows using Wamp, then file location may be in,

C:\Windows\php.ini

Just try with

post_max_size = 100M;

Try to do changes in Apache one. By that your Wamp/XAMP load .ini file

If you are using Laravel and using artisan:serve for running Laravel project you create php.ini in your public directory, then you can specify your configuration.

• file_uploads = On
• max_execution_time = 300
• post_max_size = 20480M
• upload_max_filesize = 20480M
