Gets or sets a maximium allowed size of binary data (in bytes) uploaded within a POST request.

Syntax

PHP

Initialize

public function getChunkSize() {
}

public function setChunkSize($value) {
}

Property Value

Type: integer

The number of bytes allowed to upload within a request. When this value is 0, converted file uploaded entirely.

Default value is 0.

Remarks

When this property is greater than 0, Flash Uploader adds converted files and metadata to a POST request until the request length exceeds ChunkSize + metadata size bytes. If the last added file does not meet the chunk size limitation, Flash Uploader adds just a portion of this file to complete this chunk. The remaining portion will be added at the beginning of the next chunk. Each chunk is submitted to a server as a separate request. It gives a number of benefits: makes each request compartible with maximum POST request length limitation and allows resuming partially uploaded files.

Note

When you turn this mode on, it is highly recommended to use HTML5/Flash Uploader PHP to handle upload on the server side. This wrapper automatically bundles pieces of one file, uploaded in separated chunks, and provides an access to this file as if it was uploaded entirely.
