Had to come to YouTube to find out how to build my own YouTube.

If anybody is having issues trying to upload the video file and it not saving to the storage/videos directory, make sure to set or modify these values in your php.ini file:

_memory_limit = -1_
_post_max_size = 2000M_
_upload_max_filesize = 2000M_

This ensures that you can upload up to 2GB video files, but you can increase these values if you want even bigger files. The memory limit specified here allows PHP to allocate as much RAM as needed, instead of being capped at a specific value. Note that you have to edit the php.ini file for this, you can't just do ini_set during runtime.

All PHP tutorials introduced to me by different people is by Zuram( I don't know if I got the name correctly) and on different YouTube channels like traverse media.
So, I thank you again Zuram for your contribution to many developer's live. Great explanations and breakdown all through.
Still on using Autoloading with composers to build an MVC on your video with Travers media 🥵
