File attachment limit not working

  • I creaated a module that allows users of my website to send a zip file. I have set the limit to 15Mb and followed all the guides and checked all file limits in php.ini file.

    Everything looks ok for me and the form works when i attach small files (about hundreds of kb). If i try to attach a file of 9mb, it doesn’t work.

    Any ideas? I already looked for other threds about this topic but that didn’t help.

    Thanks @takayukister but i already read that and, as i said, everything is fine with small files. If i try to upload bigger files it doesn’t work. But the PHP.ini is correct and everything seems to be in place. Which configuration do i have to check for file dimensions?

    CF7 sends file attachements via email so you are trying to send an email with a 9 Mb attachment.

    Many email systems will simply not allow an attachment of that size.

    I’m using as email an alias provided by my hosting provider, connected to a gmail account. That should work, am I wrong?

    9 Mb is a pretty big attachment. Whether it sends & arrives will depend on the email sending/receiving chain used in your case.

    It’s important to remember that CF7 is just sending an email – just like you would do when sending an email from your computer or mobile phone.

    You’ve confirmed that it works for small attachments – so that confirms CF7 is working on your site.

    But it’s not working for big attachments. You think that’s because the file sending limits are not working.

    That is possible but it’s also possible that there other limits imposed on attachment size on the email sending/receiving chain used in your case.

    I’d recommend you test sending emails, with both small & big attachments, between the To: & From: email addresses you are using in CF7, from you desktop computer – i.e. eliminate CF7 from the process & see what happens.
