Max Upload size?

[ski-whiz]

I host videos on my site via photopost..

My question is when a member uploads a file (say a big file), does the upload script open a mysql connection and keep it open while the upload is going? Now I'm storing the files in the file system vice database.

I'm looking to allow like 100meg uploads for videos, but with doing that, I'm wondering if this will tie up the mysql side until it's done (if photopost keeps the mysql connection even though the file is being uploaded to the filesystem)????

I know I can set the max time in the php settings, but I just don't want to open myself to loading down my dedicated server when someone is uploading a big 50meg video...


Thanks in advance!!

We do not store files in a database and never will. Nor do we keep any query open as you state in our product. We upload the file then process it and insert the resulting query to tell the program there is a new photo. Hope that assists you my friend.

Yes that answers my question.

Basically, photopost does NOT hold a mysql connection open during the upload process....

In order to allow a big upload, the php timeout would need to be adjusted though, correct (to allow the upload to complete)?

max_execution_time 0;
max_upload_filesize 100M;
post_max_size 100M;
memory_limit 48M;

That should do it
