php specific function / url / file max post size?

I was wondering if you can set the post_max_size only for a specific page or function (in the php.ini)?

You can set it in the .htaccess

php_value upload_max_filesize 4M
php_value post_max_size 4M

but it doesn't work for a specific page. Also the ini_set() doesn't work for a specific page.

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • You cannot change the upload_max_filesize at runtime. If you want custom limits for different parts of your app/website you have to set the upload_max_filesize & post_max_size to the maximum value that you want to allow, and after that you have to manually force lower limits with function filesize()

    for example: you set upload_max_filesize & post_max_size at 100M, and you can manually reject an upload larger that 50M at a specific page/function by checking the size of the file
