hi i wanted to know if uploading large files like videos ( over 200 mb - 1gb) from php is a good option after setting up the server configuration like max_post_size , execution time etc. The reason i ask this question is because i read some where that when a large file is uploaded , best practice is to break that file into chunks and upload it ( I think youtube does that). Do i need to use another language like python or C++ for uploading large files or is php enough. If i need to use another language can anyone please help me with reading material for that .
Thank you.
Its not only PHP to be considered for large file uploads. Your web server also need to support that, at least in nginx. I don't know how httpd handles that, but as you said splitting in chunks are viable solution. FTP is another option.
Is php good for large file uploads such as videos
