Upload Limits

The default upload limits are currently set to a maximum single file size of 8M, a total for the page of 16M and an overall memory limit of 16M. If you are having trouble uploading or need your upload limits increased please contact your Network Admin and follow the instructions below.

Increasing Upload Limits

The maximum file upload size is a .php configuration variable found in /etc/php.ini. Somebody with root access to your machine will have to edit your php.ini file to change these limitations.

The relevant lines to edit are:

Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. upload_max_filesize = 2M

Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. post_max_size = 8M

memory_limit = 16M

Uploading a Questionnaire File

You can upload your study.qpx with this feature. During the upload process, your study.qpx will be compiled. Any warnings and errors will be written to the screen. You also have the option to download your error file to view specific errors and warnings.

Tips for uploading your study.qpx:

  • The study.qpx name needs to match the studycode for your project
  • The studycode in the header needs to match the studycode for your project
  • The studycode in the header needs to be flush next to the [ of the header without any spaces
  • For On-Demand and Custom Web Tables Reporting:
    • Add the keyword MENTOR to the end of the ~PREPARE COMPILE line so the proper files are created for running tables
    • Add brackets and a $ to any !IF condition references. For example, if you have !if intvID=“dbug”, change it to !if [intvID$]=“dbug”
    • If you have any response codes with special characters; i.e. ??, ^^ or ==, you need to add (-mentor) before that response code.
