Anyone else have problems with big attachements?

[Mr_Johnson]

I can't seem to get anything over 2mb to attach to my posts :ermm: I have changed the size limit, but it still won't work. Anyone want to help me out here? :nervous:

[Dan]

iirc mysql has a file size limit of its own

[Mr_Johnson]

Which is less than 2mb I assume? :(

[filburt1]

Anything over a certain size via any browser method will get messy, anyway.

[Mr_Johnson]

IS there anyways I can attached 5-10mb files to posts?

[filburt1]

Again, there is no reliable way.

edit: other than protocols designed for transferring a lot of data like FTP.

[Mr_Johnson]

I don't mind unreliable, its a rare occasion that I will need to do it.

Edit: This is more or less a one time thing. Is there any tideous way I can do it in the mean time?

[Xenon]

the mb limit is defined in php.ini :)

[Mr_Johnson]

Is that part of the Vbulliten, or part of my ISP's stuff?

[assassingod]

Ask your host to check the php.ini file (because iirc you cant find out any other way) and to tell you the max MB your allowed to use

PHP has by default a 2MB upload limit I think.

I have a forum where I have posts up to about 20meg. Take a look at the PHP forum at Sitepoint or DevShed and do a search for large file upload. You'll find the php.ini changes you need to make.
