Upload manager.

registered · Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2003 3:04 pm

I need a good upload module so people can upload files for download. I got one from programmando.ord and it had a ton of bugs in it. I think they released it before it was really ready.

I had to email tech support for my host to get the files deleted it created. It was bad.

Do you know of a good one?

Is the standard one with Nuke not sufficient?

I want people to be able to actually browse their HD and upload files to the server.

Hello TheosEleos & Raven,

I have been using My_Uploads Version 3.0 by Alex Hession (http://www.gnaunited.com).

I would love to find one that truly works. The one above will do what I think you want, but be advised it will only work on files under 2 to 2 ½ megs. There is a setting to increase the size of the uploads, php.ini I believe or perhaps the server configuration file ( I changed it just cant remember off the top of my head ). But then you run into the script time out after 30 second bug, feature, limitation thingie. I set it to 5 megs to test and if a user is on a slow connection the thing just times out. So you are limited to smaller files. Does the standard upload mod have these same limitations? I need users to be able to upload 10 to 15 meg files and the above mentioned mod has the features I would like but no luck getting it to work here.

I have also been looking to see if there are any ftp type mods that would perform like a ftp client, any ideas?

That is the upload program I would use if I were going to allow uploads.

If your host does not let you overide his php.ini 3mb limit then you will timeout for files larger than 3mb. No script will allow otherwise AFAIK.

Tried it, same thing. I host on my own server so set up is no problem. The problem is getting PHP or PHP-nuke to work the script. I am not a coder but somewhere there is a time out setting (php.ini I believe) and by default it is set to 30 sec. I started changing it in 30 sec intervals and tested an upload. After about 3 minutes it just hangs the site. So in my case it became a time issue rather than a file size limit. I changed the limit to 50 megs and just can not get more than about 3 minutes out of the script before it all freezes.

I am getting ready to deal with this exact issue. I have a great coder working on it this week. He is writing a custom php.ini file for my 6.9 site. My host says I can overwrite php.ini if I wish.

I will get back with you when I resolve my limitation issue.

I have not forgotten about you. I am still testing the php.ini my friend made for me. I have my file upload limit set to 8mb right now and uploaded a 5mb mp3 attachment perfectly.

Here is the command for upload file size if you need it. Otherwise just give me a few more days to test.

Code:

upload_max_filesize = 8M
