I have a page which allows users to upload images.
It is returning a 500 error when the user tries to upload larger images though.
The following code...
<?php echo ini_get("upload_max_filesize");
echo ini_get("post_max_size");
echo ini_get("max_input_time");
echo ini_get("max_execution_time");
?>
...returns:
100M
100M
60
3600
I'm guessing from this that it's the max-input-time that's causing the problem as i've tested with files under 100mb but taking longer than 60 seconds to upload.
I don't have access with my host to the php.ini file, so can I override these settings? I've tried adding an htaccess file but I'm not sure I've put it in the correct place.

Put a .htaccess file in the root folder of your website (where your php script is) and add the following values:
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
Of course, you can put other size and time limits. That should work.

Setting up php ini directives depends on the nature of your service provider's configuration. Run a phpinfo() script to look at your configuration. If your provider is starting PHP using suPHP in a user UID context then it may look for a php.ini in the script's directory. This is how it works for my hosting provider.
