I have done large file uploads in PHP. Make sure you have the following set in php.ini: upload_max_filesize = <some large size followed by M for megabyte or G for gigabyte> file_uploads = on post_max_size = <some large size> Also, you can set these values through the set_ini function in PHP so that it can be per script instead of effective for every script which can allow for a more granular level of control for security reasons, etc. I have never used the form input value, nor should you have to change the memory_limit very much since the file itself is not loaded into memory, just information regarding the file.
