How to Upload Large File > 5Mb in Laravel 5

How to upload large file 5MB in laravel 5

If you want to upload big files you should use streams. Here’s the code to do it:

$disk = Storage::disk('s3');
$disk->put($targetFile, fopen($sourceFile, 'r+'));

PHP will only require a few MB of RAM even if you upload a file of several GB.

See Lrvl5 doc for usage and config of Storage :

Uploading large files in laravel

There are various places where you could set the max post size.

If you use .htaccess, you could use the answer in Increasing the maximum post size and change the MB setting to your required one.

Generally the php.ini file can be in various places (or named a bit differently) depending your server's setup for which purpose you should ask you server administrator to do the change for you

Also if you have a validator on the request with a limit, you would need to set/increase it following Laravel docs, validation max file size

Laravel 5.3 large file upload

What you have is probably not a Laravel problem, but a PHP limitation on uploading large files. So you have to configure your php.ini file to allow larger files, and, maybe give it more time to upload your files:

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 10M
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value max_execution_time 300

Laravel 6 upload_max_filesize , i just want to upload 5mb file size

Your validation seems correct. You will also need to increase the maximum post file and also upload size of php.

Please updates this values on your php.ini file.

upload_max_filesize = 5M
post_max_size = 5M

Laravel - validate file size when PHP max upload size limit is exceeded

You don't seem interested in changing the PHP limits to allow larger files. It looks to me like you want your max upload to be 5MB, and return a proper response if it is over that.

You can handle the FileException exception inside your exception handler at app/Exceptions/Handler.php. Update the render method to add in the code you need. For example, if you'd like to return a validation exception, you will need to handle the validation inside the exception handler for the FileException exception.

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\Exception\FileException) {
        // create a validator and validate to throw a new ValidationException
        return Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'your_file_input' => 'required|file|size:5000',
        ])->validate();
    }

    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

This is untested, but should give you the general idea.

You can also do client side validation via javascript, so that a file that is too large is never actually sent to your server, but javascript can be disabled or removed by the client, so it would be good to have nice server side handling set up.

For the client side validation, if you attach an event handler to the "change" event for the file input, you can check the file size using this.files[0].size, and perform any additional actions after that (disable form, remove uploaded file, etc.)

Small file get uploaded but not large file in Laravel

Well I found the answer, The things mentioned above to make change in php.ini about upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are infact the only thing to solve the problem mentioned by the question.

The only problem was that I am using wamp and apparently wamp has multiple php.ini files one in php folder and one in apache folder. I made changes in PHP folder when the change should be made to the one inside apache folder.
