I want to upload an image and add it to the message via UPLOAD IMAGE button...

I got this hint: The file you are trying to upload is too big! Max allowed size: 1024000KB

Where can I change this file size?

Thanks

upload.php

$maxsize = (1000 * 1024);

but this limit can't biger than the "upload_max_filesize" option in the php.ini file of the server

True,

But it appears to be not using any board settings and takes the restriction directly from the upload.php file, which it also parses into the error message.

How the message deciphers this code to such a huge value - I have no Idea.

Thanks both... hopfully I can change it.

Do you know why its limited in php.ini

Global php.ini comes with the default max of 2MB.

Quote:

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
;upload_tmp_dir =

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

You can overwrite it up to a point by creating a local php.ini file with this content:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 8M

and upoading it to the Public Folder and CHMOD to 705 (As most recommend this setting).

Also ensure that there is a tmp folder in the root and CHMOD to either 755 or 777 as required by the server.

At most, you could probably set the file size to 8MB - maybe less. If you can't increase it, then you would need to contact your ISP.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

Code: [Show]

$maxsize = (1000 * 1024);


if($file_size > $maxsize)
{
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['Upload_File_Too_Big'] . ' ' . $maxsize . 'KB');
}

There was an error in this... I should have fixed it... you can check in SVN...
