Even java applets have to hand over the file to some script, in this
case php and php will get it in $_FILES array it seems (in case of
japplet). so the problem will remain.
Not at all true. A Java applet can use FTP to handle the upload and
still pass meta data about the file as an HTTP POST request. There is no
requirement to use HTTP to upload the file from a Java applet.

Thanks for your reply.
So you are saying I cannot do it using php. These files have to be
uploaded locally but using web interface and I have to pass some
parameters along with file upload to update the database after upload
is successful. Also I have to rename the file after it is uploaded.
Any utility which allows this?

I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be as big

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.
Yeah, don't use HTTP. Seriously, HTTP is a crappy mechanism for
uploading files, especially large ones. And by large ones I mean
>~20MB!!
You need to look into maybe a java applet, or just plain
FTP/SFTP/SCP for files that big. HTTP was never designed to handle
uploading files of that size. For a start there is no facility to
restart the upload should it get interrupted and fail.
