longiron07 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I've been testing various e-carts and I ran into a problem while uploading files that I would want to sell as downloadables. I could only upload files UNDER 2mb. which made it virtually useless for selling downloadables. I contacted my host provider and they said that because PHP caused problems with files over that size they put this arbitrary limit on the uploadable files using PHP. Their suggestion at the time was to upload using FTP, but the problem with that was that e-carts did not recognize the file in it's native format. While testing OPENCART, I found it had a module available that auto-detected files uploaded through FTP & converted them to PHP; therefore the files were then recognized in the OpenCart program and worked just fine, regardless of size. One could upload as many files as one wanted. I HOWEVER>>> Personally like PRESTASHOP MUCH better than any other E-Cart solution I've seen out there, EXCEPT for this ONE issue. If some PHP Expert could create a module similar to the one mentioned above for Prestashop, this program would be AWSOME!! Sadly, I guess I'll have to go with opencart UNTIL someone can resolve the uploading limit problem with PHP. Some sort of Auto-Detect program would be great!
