hey everyone i am a bit stuck here
what i wish to do is a PHP form (already done) and a MySQL database (Already Built)
what im having problems is i want to upload PDF files into the MySQL database, but everytime i try to upload it using the form it times out and does not upload, i have tested it and it does work for smaller PDF files, can anyone help me out please?
i wish to upload approx 20-60mb each file,

thank you

What you need to do is check your php timeout and maximum post size.

This can be done through your php.ini if you have access to the server.

Try googling and also look into mysql timeout and limits

Specifically, you want to look at the max_input_time and max_execution_time setting of php.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.inf...max-input-time
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.inf...execution-time

Try to increase them

thank you everyone
what if i dont have access php.ini
because im using hosting provider that i pay monthly


if it is not possible to have access to it
would it be possible to have all the files in a folder
and in the database i can put a link to that folder?
so each time i add something into the folder it can be shown on the page without me actually need to add a link to it myself in the .html page

Use the ini_set function on top of the file you want the setting to be altered.
The ini_set duration is local to the page, and not site wide, but this will make what you want.

Or, if your host haven't safe_mode enabled, you could put them in a .htaccess file, which will make them valid for every pages or folder in the same directory or in child directories.

php_value max_input_time 120
php_value max_execution_time 90
