How can the upload speed of the internet connection affect file uploads in PHP, and what are the implications for handling large files?

The upload speed of the internet connection can affect file uploads in PHP by causing slow or failed uploads for large files. To handle large file uploads more efficiently, you can increase the maximum upload size and adjust the timeout settings in your PHP configuration.

// Increase maximum upload size
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '100M');

// Adjust timeout settings
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
ini_set('max_input_time', 300);
