jQuery Uploadify Not Handling Large Images

Question

I am using jQuery Uploadify plug-in. It works great for what I'm doing, but when I recently tested it with images over 2.5mb, it fails.

The process completes, states that the file is 100% uplaoded, but the file never arrives in the uploaded folder. The log files say that the script can't find the file.

I checked the PHP.ini file settings, the log files and everything else I could think of (firebug, etc). However, this is not coming up with real results.

Any help? Ideas?

Update: The PHP settings in .ini were updated, but PHP info shows:

max_execution_time  30  30
max_file_uploads    20  20
max_input_nesting_level 64  64
max_input_time  60  60
memory_limit    32M 32M

An image takes well over 30 seconds to upload, could this be the problem?

Answer 1

The only thing that comes to mind is that if you are resizing the image on server side, the script could die because it takes up more than the 32MB of memory you have available.

Remember, resizing takes at least

width x height x 3 (or 4)

bytes of memory - it's meaningless how small the compressed JPEG image is.

Answer 2

What about PHP's upload_max_filesize? And Apache's (assuming that's what you're running) LimitRequestBody?

Answer 3

Try explicitly setting a sizelimit:

 $("#fileInput3").uploadify({
    'uploader'       : '/_scripts/uploadify.swf',
    'script'         : '/_scripts/uploadify.php',
    'cancelImg'      : '/_images/cancel.png',
    'folder'         : '/_uploads',
    'auto'           : true,
    'sizeLimit'      : 10000000
    'multi'          : false
});

Answer 4

Did you try uploading anything other than images to check?

Also, are you sure that you pointing to the right upload destination? Correct permissions?
