uploading large file from ios

Question

I am trying to upload a large file it causes me trouble. When I use smaller files to upload it works fine.

Here is the code in IOS I am using:

NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setPostFormat:ASIMultipartFormDataPostFormat];
[request setPostValue:key forKey:@"key"];
[request setData:fileData withFileName:fileName andContentType:contentType forKey:key];
[request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];
[request setTimeOutSeconds:60000];
[request startSynchronous];

NSError *error = [request error];
if (!error)
{
    NSString *response = [request responseString];
    if (kShowLog)
        NSLog(@"%@", response);
    return [self objectWthString: response];
}
else
    if (kShowLog)
        NSLog(@"%@", error.debugDescription);
    return nil;

Here is the PHP code:

function microtime_float_string()
{
    list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
    return $sec . ($usec * 1000000);
}

$myTime = microtime_float_string();
srand(time());
$rand1 = rand();
srand($rand1);
$rand2 = rand();
$str = $myTime . $rand1 . $rand2 . '.aiff';

$arr = array();

$uploaddir = 'images/';      //Uploading to same directory as PHP file

//$file = basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$file = $str;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file;

if (!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
    $arr["error"] = "File Upload Failed is_uploaded_file";
}
else if ($_FILES['userfile']['size']> 10000000)     //Limiting image at 10000K
{
    $arr["error"] = "File Size too Large";
}
else if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) 
{
    $url = SITE_URL . $uploadfile;
    $arr["message"] = "ok";
    $arr["url"] = $url;
}
else
{
    $arr["error"] = "File Upload Failed";
}
echo json_encode($arr);

How large a file are we talking? `DEFINE "large", "10gig";`? Plus, are you checking for errors? — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 14 '14 at 17:16
What error is given? What does it do when you upload a large file? — slapyo, Oct 14 '14 at 17:16
Well considering you've limited the upload size to `10mb`, these aren't very large files at all.. — Ohgodwhy, Oct 14 '14 at 17:17
@Fred-ii- I get this error File Upload Failed is_uploaded_file — Naveed Rafi, Oct 14 '14 at 17:21
@Ohgodwhy not sure what is going on. it works fine for around 1 MB file — Naveed Rafi, Oct 14 '14 at 17:21
How big is the file that you're trying to upload? Do you have any size limits on the form that you're using? — Jay Blanchard, Oct 14 '14 at 17:21
Add error reporting to the top of your file(s) right after your opening ` — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 14 '14 at 17:22
@Fred-ii- how can I override the max upload size limit in my code without touching php.ini file? — Naveed Rafi, Oct 14 '14 at 17:26

php in OSX by default accepts 2 mb.

We have to update the php.ini file in order to accept files with bigger size.

The file is found under /etc/

edit the values of upload_max_filesize & post_max_size in php.ini

then restart it by running the following command

/etc/init.d/httpd restart
