I followed a tutorial on the internet how to create an upload form with HTML5, Javascript and PHP. When I try to upload, I upload small files just fine, but if I enter something bigger it gives me an error. I figured that my first error was because of IIS not being configured to upload big files so I fixed that, from then on whenever I try to get the file from PHP I don't get anything. I get empty parameters. Here are some pieces of my code:
HTML:
<form id="upload_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="file1" id="file1"><br>
<input type="button" value="Upload File" onclick="uploadFile()">
<progress id="progressBar" value="0" max="100" style="width:300px;"></progress>
<h3 id="status"></h3>
<p id="loaded_n_total"></p>
</form>
JavaScript:
function uploadFile(){
var file = _("file1").files[0];
var formdata = new FormData();
formdata.append("file1", file);
var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.upload.addEventListener("progress", progressHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("load", completeHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("error", errorHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("abort", abortHandler, false);
ajax.open("POST", "file_upload_parser.php");
ajax.send(formdata);
}
PHP:
<?php
$fileName = $_FILES["file1"]["name"];
$fileTmpLoc = $_FILES["file1"]["tmp_name"];
$fileType = $_FILES["file1"]["type"];
$fileSize = $_FILES["file1"]["size"];
$fileErrorMsg = $_FILES["file1"]["error"];
if (!$fileTmpLoc) {
echo "ERROR: Please browse for a file before clicking the upload button.";
exit();
}
if(move_uploaded_file($fileTmpLoc, "savefiles/$fileName")){
echo "$fileName upload is complete";
} else {
echo "move_uploaded_file function failed";
}
?>
What is the best way to handle the upload of big files? I am looking for a way to upload files around 2GBs big.
