I'm trying to upload large files to my server (my server support post_max_size
192mb and max_execution_time
600 sec). When I upload 100mb files execution will stop after 600 sec so files are not uploaded to the server. How can I increase max_execution_time
in PHP (only for the file uploading process)? I have tried:
ini_set ( 'max_execution_time', 1200); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Video']['tmp_name'],$tmppath)) { // ... }
Any ideas how I can overcome this?
To increase the script execution time, you can use the following snippet at the top of your script. ini_set ( 'max_execution_time' , '300' ); In the above example, it would set the max_execution_time directive to 300 seconds.
max_execution_time int. This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 30 . When running PHP from the command line the default setting is 0 .
max_execution_time is set to 60 which is too low. A minimum execution time of 150 seconds is recommended to give the migration process the best chance of succeeding. If you use a managed host, contact them directly to have it updated.
Add this to an htaccess file (and see edit notes added below):
<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value post_max_size 200M php_value upload_max_filesize 200M php_value memory_limit 300M php_value max_execution_time 259200 php_value max_input_time 259200 php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200 </IfModule>

2021 EDIT:
As PHP and Apache evolve and grow, I think it is important for me to take a moment to mention a few things to consider and possible "gotchas" to consider:
<IfModule
is loaded.mod_php5.c
in the first line. If you are using PHP 7, you would replace that with mod_php7.c
.php.ini
config file(s). This method is usually only useful in the event your hosting provider does not give you access to change those files. In circumstances where you can edit the PHP configuration, it is recommended that you apply these settings there.If you love us?
