Hello! Good day to all.

I'm nitz. I'm new here. And i am new in PHP Programming. I have a question. It is possible to have a File Transfer using HTTP, PHP as front-end. That can transfer file with a maximum size of 5 gigabyte?, Can you please help me how?

Thanks and more power.

Without checking, my memory tells me that the memory size (standard of 2 gb) is set in the php.ini config file. To use 5 gb, you would need to have at least that available in free memory.

You could use:

ini_set('memory_limit', '5120M'); //Sets the memory limit of this one script to 5GB/5120MB

However as no2pencil has already said you will need that much memory for the script to use..

However I would use FTP functions to transfer such a large file, what exactly are you trying to achieve

Unless I am misunderstanding you and what you want to do is make it so a user cannot upload a file bigger than 5GB?

Dont think the memory limit needs changing

In your PHP file:

<?php
/* ... */
ini_set('post_max_size', '5120M');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '5120M');
/* ... */
?>

OR

in your .htaccess file:

php_value post_max_size 5120M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5120M

OR

in your php.ini config file (a little more advanced) [Correct me if I'm wrong, its bytes isn't it?]

post_max_size = 5368709120
upload_max_filesize = 5368709120

As I was double checking on WHM, It "seems" the limit is 2gb

Heres a screenshot

Ive highlighted how I got there, just incase you are using the same control panel.

It's a little unclear what the OP is after; i.e., is it a file upload, or a file download, or a transfer between servers.
