[Resolved] Upload Issue - Is it Litespeed or PHP?

[robfrew]

We've recently added the ability for our users to upload multiple files at once. The application we are using has been tested by the company that makes it to support a virtually unlimited amount of files at once, all dependent on your configuration (web server, os, etc...). We have enabled the application to allow our users to upload a max of 40 images.

After testing, we have found that no matter the size of the images (they could all be little emoticons for example), the php script will only see 20 image files max.

We contacted the company that makes the software and they said that it is either a php issue or a web server issue. They've successfully tested the app with up to 100 image files using ASP.

The application just submits a normal POST to the php script to accept the upload.

So my question is, how do we determine if it is Litespeed or PHP? What is limiting the number of uploaded files to be posted to the PHP script?

As far as I understand, PHP only limits the total size of uploads, not the number of uploads.

Is there a setting in Litespeed that limits this to prevent attacks maybe?

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Thanks for the info, I actually found it in the online php docs soon after I made the post. Because it was added in 5.2.1, I never knew it existed. Nice security feature though.
