2. Create a folder on your server where you html, php and php.ini files will live.
a. Copy an existing php.ini and add or modify the entries listed in the php ini settings below.
PHP.INI Settings:
[PHP]
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; Its value may be 0 to disable the limit. It is ignored if POST data reading
; is disabled through enable_post_data_reading.
post_max_size = 71690M
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
;post_max_size should be > upload_max_filesize see also max_execution_time
upload_max_filesize = 71680M
; Maximum number of files that can be uploaded via a single request
max_file_uploads = 60
; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to 0 for the CLI SAPI
;max_execution_time = 5400
max_execution_time = 600000
; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data. It's a good
; idea to limit this time on productions servers in order to eliminate unexpectedly
; long running scripts.
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to -1 for the CLI SAPI
; Default Value: -1 (Unlimited)
; Development Value: 60 (60 seconds)
; Production Value: 60 (60 seconds)
max_input_time = 60
; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (default = 128MB)
memory_limit = 2048M
3. Copy this PHP file into your folder with the name: upload_new.php
<?php

// because $_FILES is always empty.

$lib = new Vimeo($client_id, $client_secret, $accessToken);

$lib->request($uri, array('name' => $fileName), 'PATCH');
$lib->request($uri, array('description' => 'Please enter a description for ' . $fileName), 'PATCH');
$lib->request($uri, 'me/channels/944590/videos/', 'PUT');
}
catch (\Vimeo\Exceptions\VimeoRequestException $exception) {
}
//return vimeo ids
echo 'Original filename: "' . $fileName . '"; vimeo id: "' . $uri . '"' . '<br/>';
}
else {
echo '<br/>' . 'Upload Error: ' . var_dump($_FILES["file"]["error"]) . '<br/>';

}
}
