I've already checked post_max_size upload_max_filesize on my php.ini file, the thing is that my hosting provider doesn't allow more than 25M for each upload.

I need to let the users to upload files 50M - 100M. But before changing my provider I thought maybe there's some workaround to split large files into separate packages, upload them and then join them back together.

Any ideas will be appreciated :)

From Splitting a file before upload?

You can try [Plupload][1]. It can be configured to check whatever runtime is available on users side, be it - Flash, Silverlight, HTML5, Gears, etc, and use whichever satisfies required features first. Among other things it supports image resizing (on users side, preserving EXIF data(!)), stream and multipart upload, and chunking. Files can be chunked on users side, and sent to a server-side handler chunk-by-chunk (requires some additional care on server), so that big files can be uploaded to a server having max filesize limit set to a value much lower then their size, for example. And more.

Some runtimes support https I believe, some need testing. Anyway, developers on there are quiet responsive these days. So you might at least try ;)

  • Agree to the solution. To give direct answer, no, there is no way to split a file before uploading, short of writing your own cross platform file splitter. Joining the files would work though. – cmc Mar 13 '12 at 02:50
