Re: Large file upload

Hi,

The upload takes more than 30 seconds, but I get the error immediately. I
dont think that the webserver is aware of the page will take longer than 30
seconds to upload and therefore sends an error at the beginning of the
upload.

If it's taking longer than about 25-30 seconds you could be timing out.
Try putting set_time_limit(0) at the top of the script.  If it works you
might want to try replacing the 0 with a reasonable time limit.  The time
is in seconds.
