ODK Collect 10MB limit and PHP

Development
#1

Hi,

I've run into a problem with the 10MB limit in Collect. I'm using a custom
server written in PHP. It seem the isIncomplete tag is non-standard and
PHP doesn't know how to treat it. Is there a way to increase the 10MB limit?

Thank you!
Fergus

You will need to recompile collect with a different limit value that
is used determine how to break up the submissions.

ODK uses other custom tags and depending on what you are doing it
might be worth your time to figure out how to have php properly deal
with custom tags than try and change ODK protocols because otherwise
you will probably be tracking down more of these and you will have to
constantly recompile new versions of ODK releases.

Increasing the size will also cause the upload process to become less
reliable especially on mobile networks that are over used or have
intermittent connectivity. The ODK team has gotten several requests to
lower the size to deal with less reliable networks.

Alternatively, if you're rebuilding ODK Collect, you could just remove that
field (which may break compatibility with other tools) and keep the split
limit small.

The communications between Collect and the server are described here:
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaAPI

There are a number of threads with answers to this question. Search the
opendatakit-developers group archive for answers.

Hi, Thanks for the responses. Is there a document that describes the
protocol better than on the openrosa submission page? Or is the code the
best place to figure it out?

My server is pretty simple, based on the Python server, odk_server.py,
which does not contain any splitting code either. I'm using the PHP Global
$_FILES, which creates a file array based on the HTTP POST. I imagine this
would have to be done manually to properly reflect the openrosa protocol.

Many Thanks,
Fergus

More relative than this—the code's the thing
Wherein I'll catch the concept of OpenRosa.

I take it all back! It was php.ini config parameters... ODK Collect is
working fine with split posts and the PHP $_FILES variable. PHP by default
closes the input connection at 8M.

Parameters that need updating in php.ini listed here:

Thanks for the all the good work, and the carefully crafted poetry :wink:

Good to know that PHP similarly limits submission sizes.
