Again problem with PHP, php has a problem uploading files with a size of over 2 megs. The reason being is that PHP uses A LOT of memory during the file upload and that causes a problem for the Apache & the PHP child.
The best solution is to use compression when uploading large files or break the files into smaller chunks.
P.S. FUDforum supports multiple attachments per message.

Hi,
another reason could be that upload_max_filesize in the php.ini is restricted to 5meg, which is also the file's default value (if unedited). U could check the setting with phpinfo() to see what it acually has been set to.
bye Ken

You can use FUDAPI to "emulate" addition of attachement to a message.

Read the comments found inside the fudapi.inc.php script, they are quite detailed.

Ilia,
I read the comments in fudapi.inc.php and did what I describe below, but for some reason the attachment comes back a 0 byets.
1. I created a topic by userid test with no attachments, the message id is 770.
2. I ftp-ed the large attachment (video.wmv) to
//FUDforum/files
3. I ran the following PHP script (which is in same dir as fudapi at //FUDforum/scripts):
<?php
require("../include/GLOBALS.php");
require("./fudapi.inc.php");
$mid = 770;
print fud_update_message("test", "test", 0, "ahmed", $mid, null, array( "//FUDforum/files/video.wmv") )
?>
After I did this, I noticed that the function did run successfully since the topic subject and body got over-ridden with the "test" strings, and also the message now showed an attachment as:
Attachment: video.wmv
(Size: 18.99MB, Downloaded 0 time(s))
which reflects the correct size of the attachment.
However, when I right click on that file and click on "save targe as" what I get back is a file of size 0 bytes.
Please let me know what am I doing wrong ?
thx,
-- amr

There are a few things to check, first check the files/ directory for the [file_id].attach file and see how big it is. Then check if your PHP has a memory limit and if so what is this limit set to.
