Maximum File Upload Size Problem (custom upload script outside Zen Cart)

[DrByte]

You'll need to sort those issues out with your hosting company. It's likely that your server won't let you put PHP directives in your .htaccess files, and thus you'll need to use a php.ini file in that folder instead. Again, your hosting company can tell you what exactly the problem is, and can help you set the proper limits as far as PHP itself is concerned.
As for your custom code, the author from whom you obtained that code is your best line of support.

This is not a Zen Cart issue.

OK, I seem to have it working now. I dropped a copy of my php.ini into the file upload directory, and another in the parent folder where my original .htaccess is. Now, it's not allowing uploads of larger files.

Just two questions now:

1. It's not uploading the larger files, but it's not for the want of trying. When I try to upload a 3mb file, the little ajax-loader spins for a very long time as though it's actually uploading. It takes a few minutes, then just stops with no message.

Is there a way to make it determine the file size 'before' attempting to upload and perhaps give the user a message that their file is too large and hasn't been uploaded?

2. Other than custom coding the index.php file, is there a way to make php.ini ot .htaccess deny the upload of certain file types and only allow .gif .jpg .png ?

You're talking about customizing a script that's completely separate from Zen Cart.
I suggest you take that discussion to wherever you got your script from.

Notwithstanding, the problem HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZEN CART. It's custom code that's having conflicts as a result of how your server is configured vs the code you're running.

The fact that you're running it inside an iframe which appears inside a page of your Zen Cart site is entirely irrelevant. Something running from an iframe is completely separate, and subject to its own interaction with the server.

Best to get support for that code from the author who wrote it.
