Uploading big files (300 megs +)

[DrkFusion]

Now I know that it may not be meant to upload a 300 meg file, but I waswondering if it is possible (and if a script can be provided - that canbe modified to my likings to incorporate member system etc) to upload300 meg files via php (ftp? function) to a directory on the server.

A guy I know made a simple script that shouldn't be to hard to intergrate with VB there is a demo here http://webdev.mtnpeak.net/fileupload/

and you can download it from http://webdev.mtnpeak.net/?pg=php

Sure, however that script will need to run at least as long as the upload will take

Not all hosts allow that

I am looking for a script based (possibly FTP) which will allow me to upload the file to a specific folder set by me. I will see what I can whip together - I remember I tried this a couple of times.

it's more complicated then that

you need to change your PHP configuration. Yourupload_max_filesizeandpost_max_size would have to be changed to 300M oraboveifyour'eplanning on using a form to upload the file

if you're planning on opening the file in PHP, your memory_limit will also have to be above 300M

there's a bug in VB, if I try and edit this post and put spacesbetweenand & post and your'e & planning, it won't take effect
