For the senior developers, this is common knowledge in your tool box. For others, it can be quite a hassle to get your app working. Throw in some GoDaddy or similiar hosting service and you’ve got a nightmare.
Here are a couple examples to help you with uploading in PHP..
Open your .htaccess file or create one in a txt editor now. Add the below to the bottom of your .htaccess:
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M //Add your max upload size here php_value post_max_size 20M //this sets the filesize limit while using POST in your form
For those of you with sluggish servers, shared hosting or large files, it may benefit you to up the maximum execution time so that the upload doesn’t timeout during the process
php_value max_execution_time 200 php_value max_input_time 200
That’s a wrap, there are plenty of other resources available on php and .htaccess, just google it.
