Upload large file to google drive (php google drive api)

Question

I can upload files to google drive with this code that( size < 100 mb)
but for larger files show this error:

  Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 2359296) (tried to allocate 300457543 bytes) in /home/bahmanx2/public_html/gd/index.php on line 40

my code is

<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', '-1');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '1000M');
ini_set('post_max_size', '1000M');
ini_set('max_input_time', 3000);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 3000);

require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_DriveService.php';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId('Client Id');
$client->setClientSecret('Client Secret');
$client->setRedirectUri('Redirect Uri');
$client->setScopes(array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'));
$service = new Google_DriveService($client);

if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { // logout: destroy token
    unset($_SESSION['token']);
    die('Logged out.');
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) { // we received the positive auth callback, get the token and store it in session
    $client->authenticate();
    $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
}
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) { // extract token from session and configure client
    $token = $_SESSION['token'];
    $client->setAccessToken($token);
}
if (!$client->getAccessToken()) { // auth call to google
    $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
    header("Location: ".$authUrl);
    die;
}
//Insert a file
$file = new Google_DriveFile();
$file->setTitle('My file');
$file->setDescription('A test file');
$file->setMimeType('application/x-rar-compressed');

$data = file_get_contents('file.rar');  // 287 MB

$createdFile = $service->files->insert($file, array(
      'data' => $data,
      'mimeType' => 'text/plain',
    ));
print_r($createdFile);
?>

how to solve this error?
I can use chuncked or curl to download files to my server but how to upload large files to google drive?

What is the version of php, what is the machine you run under and what about os/memory/webserver? Looks like it limits you to allocate memory at 2.25mb while you tried to allocate ~300mb. — Wiggler Jtag, Nov 04 '13 at 08:20
my cpanel php ver is 5.3. memory limit size in php.ini is 128MB.I can upload file that size is below 100MB.I search google and use ini_set that i write top of code but problem not solved — user2511140, Nov 04 '13 at 08:29

You have to chunk your file like that

                    $file = new Google_Service_Drive_DriveFile();
                    $file->title = "title";


                    $chunkSizeBytes = 1 * 1024 * 1024;

                    // Call the API with the media upload, defer so it doesn't immediately return.
                    $client->setDefer(true);
                    $request = $service->files->insert($file);

                    // Create a media file upload to represent our upload process.
                    $media = new Google_Http_MediaFileUpload(
                      $client,
                      $request,
                      mime_content_type($filePath),
                      null,
                      true,
                      $chunkSizeBytes
                    );
                    $media->setFileSize(exec('stat -c %s "'.$filePath.'"'));
                    // Upload the various chunks. $status will be false until the process is
                    // complete.
                    $status = false;
                    $handle = fopen($filePath, "rb");
                    while (!$status && !feof($handle)) {
                      $chunk = fread($handle, $chunkSizeBytes);
                      $status = $media->nextChunk($chunk);
                     }

                    // The final value of $status will be the data from the API for the object
                    // that has been uploaded.
                    $result = false;
                    if($status != false) {
                      $result = $status;                          

                    }


                    fclose($handle);
                    // Reset to the client to execute requests immediately in the future.
                    $client->setDefer(false);

Actually everywhere is proposed is not a very good solution to this problem. There are more simple - in the library in call to $this->_service->files->insert there is an undocumented option not to transfer the contents of the file into 'data', but paste the full path to the file in 'file':

$file = new Google_DriveFile();
$file->setMimeType('application/vnd.google-apps.file');
$file->setTitle($name);
$file->setDescription($description);

$file1 = new Google_DriveFile();
$file1->setTitle($name);


$createdFile = $this->_service->files->insert($file, array(
        'file'     => $path_to_file,
        'mimeType' => $mime,
));

$t = $this->_service->files->update($createdFile['id'], $file1);

return $createdFile['id'];
