Is uploading very large files (eg 500mb) via php advisable?

I created an simple web interface to allow various users to upload files. I set the upload limit to 100mb but now it turns out that the client occasionally wants to upload files 500mb+.I know what to alter the php configuration to change the upload limit but I was wondering if there are any serious disadvantages to uploading files of this size via php? Obviously ftp would be preferable but if possible i'd rather not have two different methods of uploading files.Thanks
