too long

Question

i want to upload a local file via PHP to Google Drive. If I upload a small file (<5MB) everything is working. If I want to upload a larger file I get a "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded". I can set the max_execution_time in my php.ini on a very high value but it seems to be a bad solution. If I use "set_time_limit(seconds);" I can't upload more files simultaneously (I don't know why).

So my question is how to upload a large file without changing my php.ini to a bad execution time. How is that supposed to solve in PHP? I would like to use just a simple CURL cli command but that does not work with Google Drive because CURL can't support Oath.

This a bad idea to use a simple PHP code to upload a very large file.

You should use Javascript to upload large files because it's using AJAX methods. Also, it will allow you to display a progress bar.

I did a little research. Here is some nice scripts using jQuery : http://designscrazed.org/html5-jquery-file-upload-scripts/

Or another script which not use jQuery (I don't if it's a good one) : http://igstan.ro/posts/2009-01-11-ajax-file-upload-with-pure-javascript.html

Good luck !
