JSON parsing error displayed to user when uploaded file is too large about scalar

[crism]

In the server error log at the time of upload is this message: PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 60730159 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://.../scalar/dummy-book/upload.

Hi @crism,

Thanks for pointing this out! I'm able to duplicate the issue on my end. What's occurring is that the PHP error at the top is HTML which causes jQuery to not be able to parse the return as JSON. I should be able to trap inside a try/catch and place into an error field in the JSON, as you suggest.

Nb, uploading occurs here: https://github.com/anvc/scalar/blob/master/system/application/libraries/File_Upload.php

I'll add this to my list of things to correct.

Thanks, @craigdietrich.

Hi @crism, this is now corrected in 0f75b1b

PHP was correctly throwing errors when the file was too big for upload_max_filesize, but not when the file was too big for post_max_size.

Thanks for logging this bug!

Great, @craigdietrich—thanks!
