question on max file size upload

using PHP my server default for max file size is 2MB

question-
if i have a form with 3 file fields using DFP, will the max upload be 2MB for the three files combined or is each file field allowed 2MB?

thanks

The 2mb limit is applied to each file field separately.


Be aware of the other restrictions on file uploading though. For example the "post_max_size" setting. This restricts the size of the entire forms post collection, and must be created than the "upload_max_filesize".


In your case with three file fields and a 2mb limit on upload_max_filesize, the post_max_size will need to be at least 6.5 or 7mb.


See the following for info on settings that effect file uploads:
wap_upload.asp?page=php2

thanks Jason for the info

everything on my server seems ok except perhaps
max_input_time is 60
max_execution time is 30

someone with slower connection speed could time out?

if i changed this setting, what is suggested?

Yes, those could cause a timeout on slower connections.

As for what is recommended, that's a rather large can of worms. you dont want to set those values to high, try doubling them and see if you have any problems. If you do, then up them by a quarter again. there is no *hard* recommendation, it really comes down to 'what works for your site'.

i changed settings to

max_input_time 120
max_execution time 60

thanks Jason for your help.
will let you know if i have any more problems
