File Upload - size exceeded

    Using Gravity Forms, I have a form where visitors upload fairly large zip files. I've had people complain that the form is broken, and usually have something in my error log like this:

    "PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 71789349 bytes exceeds the limit of 67108864 bytes in Unknown on line 0"

    It was my understanding that there wasn't an upload size limit. What can I do to fix this issue?

  2. There is no file upload size limit with Gravity Forms, however your web server and PHP may have a file upload size limit. This is usually configurable. You will have to check with your web host to find out this information if you are not familiar with PHP.ini settings.

    There's also the issue of a web host defined "timeout" for uploads. On shared hosting plans this time limit for uploads is not adjustable. I found out that my client's limit is 12 minutes, which was enough to upload about 25 MB or so (he runs a print shop and takes big file uploads).
