php file upload (limit)

[justsomeguy]

Put the line of code I showed, that calls the phpinfo function.

[westman]

ok i put the 1 line of code...<?php phpinfo();in the file...phpinfowhich is located near php.iniand the file is empty, i see nothing. plus in post 50 i am not getting any feed back at all.

[justsomeguy]

phpinfo never shows nothing, you're not doing something right. Create a new file, put that line of code in it, upload it to your server, and open it in a browser. GoDaddy might have that function disabled, but I doubt it. You can also use ini_get to check a setting, e.g.: echo ini_get('post_max_size');

[westman]

when i open on google cromewww.mysite.com//phpinfoi can only see... <?php phpinfo();

[westman]

ok i got it, its... phpinfo.php and <?php phpinfo(); ?> inside. what am i looking for in the report?

[westman]

post_max_size is set to 33Mmemory_limit is set to 64Mupload_max_filesize is set to 32M why? i change them all

[birbal]

where did you change them? you need to change the php.ini file which php is loading. check in that php.ini list what does the location shows in "loaded configuration file" ? that is the file you should edit.

i successfully uploaded a AVI. file 169MB in sizei changed php.ini to php5.iniand the limit and uploading are working fine last question:i can play all my videos okthe last video i uploaded was the AVI. 169MB videoand i don't know why, it is running on the same script as all the over videos.i was thinking that the problem could be from converting the video from AVI. to MP4. throw the upload am i right?

[justsomeguy]

I think you left out what the problem is. If all your videos are playing ok, what's the problem?

[westman]

sorry the last video i uploaded was the AVI. 169MB video will not play i get... Video not found or access denied: video/8/myvid.mp4 as a error message i was thinking that the problem could be from converting the video from AVI. to MP4. throw the upload am i right?

[justsomeguy]

How did you convert it?

[westman]

throw the upload script...

	 	else if (!preg_match("/\.(avi|mp4|wmv|mov|flv|swf)$/i", $_FILES['video_upload']['name'] ) ) {			$errorMsg_upload = "Your Video was not .avi, .mp4, .wmv, .mov, .flv or .swf and it must be one of those 6 formats, please try again";			unlink($_FILES['video_upload']['tmp_name']);	} else {		$find_fileinfo_video = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nothere ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1") or die (mysql_error());	$find_fileinfo_video_check = mysql_num_rows($find_fileinfo_video);	if ($find_fileinfo_video_check == 0){	$vid_file_id = "1";	}else{	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($find_fileinfo_video)) {	$vid_file_id = $row["id"];	}	$vid_file_id++;	}		mkdir("video/$vid_file_id", 0755);	$newname1 = "myvid.mp4";		if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['video_upload']['tmp_name'], "hdvideo/$vid_file_id/".$newname1)) {

Renaming just the extension wont convert the file to avi to mp4

[westman]

ok so why wont my AVI. 169MB file play the video?

[birbal]

are you sure you are requesting the correct file? confirm the path even the file name with extension. If path is correct and browser have correct plugin installed to play avi file it should have play it.

[westman]

i am using the right path. The info i show from my script in this forum, i edit become its personal this is my video play page...

 <div id="mediaplayer"></div> 		<script type="text/javascript">	  jwplayer(\'mediaplayer\').setup({		\'flashplayer\': \'video/0/player.swf\',		\'id\': \'playerID\',		\'width\': \'800\',		\'height\': \'500\',		\'file\': \'hdvideo/' . $play_num_video . '/myvid.mp4\',		\'image\': \'hdvideo/' . $play_num_video_image . '\',	\'skin\': \'video/0/glow/glow.zip\',			\'plugins\': {		   \'sharing-3\': {			   \'link\': \'http://mysite/video/?page=video\',			   \'code\': \'<embed src="http://mysite/video/' . $play_num_video . '/myvid.mp4" width="480" height="270" allowfullscreen="true" />\'		   },			}	  });	</script>

my script is dynamic and will play 1,000's of diffident videos by changing $play_num_video i can not see a problem with it however i do not know why my 169MB AVI. will not play any help?

[justsomeguy]

It won't play because you're telling the browser it's an MP4 file. It's not an MP4, it's an AVI. Change the filename.

[westman]

ok but out of avi, wmv, mov, and swf witch format will not work if i change the name? flv. works fine when i name it mp4

[justsomeguy]

I don't see the point of changing the name of anything, why change it at all? You want the browser to know what type of files it is so that it can play it, right? So why change it? If the browser can't play the file, changing the name isn't going to fix that.

[westman]

.avi do not work on my player. i picked this player for flash and html5

[westman]

can i convert .avi, flv, wmv, mov, and swf in to .mp4 without using ffmpeg?

[westman]

i tried to install ffmpeg on my server some time ago with no luck.can ffmpeg be included in a file like the jquery library...<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> ???

[justsomeguy]

No, ffmpeg is written in C. No one has ported it and all of its dependencies to a language like PHP. It's theoretically possible to do it, but no one has taken the time to port everything.

[westman]

ok i see,then can i convert .avi, flv, wmv, mov, and swf in to .mp4 without using ffmpeg?

[justsomeguy]

I really don't know, I've never tried to do that.
