Rumor has it that uploaded files are stored in memory before being
committed
to disk. If so, the amount of free RAM available to PHP would be the limit
to the filesize regardless of the ini file settings.
I don't think that is the case. File is written to temp directory as it is
uploaded.
And the qeustion is of php having negative values after I specify post size
limit to 4G
You should probably use another method of transport for files that large.
FTP immediately comes to mind.
You mean ftp client? Like cute ftp. If yes, the problem is that along with
uploading the file I also have to update database to associate that file
with some user etc. It needs to be web based.

Subject: RE: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in
GBs
Hello,
I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be
as big as 4 GB. But when I try to set
post_max_size = 4G
upload_max_filesize = 4G
in php.ini, it doesn't work and everything in post (posted
data) is ignored.
I get a warning about size of posted data greater than some
negative number.
I read somewhere that php stores this data in integer.
I have tested it on 64 bit system (php 5.1.6 installed on
Mandriva 2007.0) as well as 32 bit system (php 5.2.2
installed on windows xp sp2).
Value up to, I think, 2147483647 bytes or ( around 1.999.. gb) works
We need to allow uploading of 4 GB files. Is there any solution.
Regards,
Sukhwinder Singh
