Bulk Upload Times out

[nbenton]

Bulk upload was working fine until today, when it seems to do 3-5 files and then stops. If I back my browser and restart it does 3-5 more.

Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

Timeouts are always a php error

Your php.ini has a max_execution_time setting which is by default 30 seconds. If your uploading many pictures at a time I can definately see it timing out. You would need to edit the php.ini and up this setting and restart your server.

You can see if this little snippet of code will help if you do not have access to edit the php.ini

set_time_limit(120);
ini_set("memory_limit",-1);

Where do I find the php.ini file? Is this a setting that the ISP controls?

Ned Benton

Your host normally has control over that file.

Add the two lines Chuck gave you above under the <? in bulkupload.php

When you say "my host" do you mean "my ISP" or, as the administrator of my site is this something that I would find somewhere? I could not locate this file on my website.

You can not locate the file on your site because you do not have access to it.
