i have a script to upload a zip file of 45MB in php that works very well in localhost , but when i take it online i.e upload my upload.php script to the server it fails to work but rather manage to upload file less than 2 MB only which is below my expectation. please i need solution from any body.

Are you sure your file has write permission to write on the server?

The server does not have permission to upload more than 2mb - default setting, please inform your webhost

Thanks

You can create a simple file like

server.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Search the entries for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size entries

The two of them together must be increased to say 100MB

You can alternatively try this, it might work

Create a text file called php.ini into your server root directory containing:

post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M


After that, you can retry your upload or run the server.php and see if the entries have been changed

Thats a quick cheat from Oga at Top

I believe this can be increased via the php.ini file on your server. Having said that, if you are on a shared server, your host may still not allow more than 2mb.

Can't you just take the strain off of your server and use dropbox, or other similar alternatives?

Ahem, a cheat? why would i have done that? Have you seen a cross-domain file transloader which might even employ an FTP script to bypass all them server settings?
@op, if all above options does not work and web host does not do anything, let me know so we can possibly use a real cheat code. . .

I'll keep you posted
