upload_max_filesize, php.ini, and Google App Engine

I have a PHP 5.5 application running on Google App Engine. It's based on the CodeIgniter framework. Recently I started needing to upload files more than 8 MB.

I have been getting the following error

PHP Warning:  POST Content-Length of 8501809 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

I edited php.ini (which is in the same directory as app.yaml), but it doesn't seem to impact the maximum upload size.

post_max_size = "16M"
upload_max_filesize = "16M"
memory_limit = "128M"

Is there somewhere else I should be setting the max_size? Any other fields?

Thanks!

Solution

  • The PHP runtime Directives documentation may be useful. As you indicated, php.ini file should be in the same directory as your app.yaml. I'd sugest specifically looking at the file_uploads and max_file_uploads values. (Note that the default for each is 0, try setting it to 1).
