Laravel file Uploading returning null when size is large

Question

I am trying to upload videos using laravel, filepond and s3 bucket. When file size is greater than 5Mb aws is not returning anything and even the file is not getting uploaded. But when the file size is less than 5Mb it's getting uploaded and I am able to get the s3 file path.

public function upload_video(Request $request){
    if ($request->hasFile('link')) {
        $video_link = Storage::disk('s3')->put('videos', $request->file('link'));

        return $video_link;
    }
}

This sounds more like a file size limit of the web server or php - I'd start there. What do the laravel logs say? Which web server are you using (nginx, apache, etc.)? — semipermeable

For development i am using Apache(wampp) server but in production as i am using nginx — Harshith J Poojary

Ok - is this happening in both Dev and Prod? Have you checked the client_max_body_size for nginx? What does php have set for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size? — semipermeable

Ensure PHP.INI settings were allowing uploads high enough. PHP.INI only allows 2M by default, so increased this limit to 20M. And Amazon S3 doesn’t like files over 5 MB uploading in one go, instead, you need to stream it through.

please use the given reference link to solve this issue by using streaming from server to S3.

If you want to upload big files you should use streams. Here’s the code to do it:

$disk = Storage::disk('s3');
$disk->put($targetFile, fopen($sourceFile, 'r+'));
