I've changed memory_limit to 50Mb, I can now upload 6.5 Mb files, but for larger files like 18 Mb theres a php warning :

Warning: PHP Feb 11 2003 09:49:01

So it does look like a memory resource issue. I guess you will have to increase the memory_limit until you can process the size of the files you want. You may have to add more memory to your system ;)

My guess is the lines below are due to the failure of the upload.

I have to find a solution to upload very large files in the future. The files are video files and can be over 50 mb. I looking for a good solution to upload those.

My idea:
Write an applet. That applet gets the file. Splits it in pieces. And transfers it over SOAP to ez. ez will builds the complete file again out of the pieces(server thread to large?).

When it comes to serving I would say that can't be done by php because of the size. I am right? Some Apache thread with 50mb isn't that wise. I thought of an streaming server like darwin to do that.

Has anyone of you a better idea?

Hm, i just can tell you: I am able to uploade a 11 MB file, after raising the PHP max_post_size and max_upload_size (i think).
No problem, but the system has lots of memory.
