Ad not saved when photos too big

[dontom]

Hi Chuck,
perhaps you know of a possible solution for this:

- my users can add their ads including photos - no problem.
- some of them try to upload photos directly from their brandnew dslr, the upload takes very long and they are just redirected to the index, and their whole ad is not saved

some settings in pp-c as screensot. Php's max_upload_filesize is set to 2M

Any advice? I get lots of emails ("My ad is not there, what can I do?" ) - I already have added a hint in bold letters in the upload form - an error message like ("your photo was to big, please retry with a smaller file") would be best, I guess

Thanks
Tom

This would be correct however the ad should be saved without a pic I think since an image is not needed for an ad. You sure PHP is not timing out as well. Anyway to handle larger images since PHP is limited to 2mb you would need to alter the servers PHP settings to allow larger uploads changing the max upload filesize and max execution time to 0.
