Making sure File-upload is working! max_upload and what else?

Question

hey, i wanna make really sure, that a user can upload large files to my server. which php settings do i have to consider in my php.ini file that make sure a file-upload doesn't fail?

i've now set those tow lines in my php.ini file:

upload_max_filesize = 500M ;
post_max_size = 500M ;

is there anything else i need to consider?

thank you for your advice.

Answer 1

You should check out the value of "memory_limit" as well.

Excerpt from the PHP Doc.

If memory limit is enabled by your configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
