problem statement
If you have a website hosted on a PC and you have no access to.
You have an upload form allowing people to upload mp3 files up to 30MB big. Your server-side script is done in PHP. Every time you try to upload a file, receive an error claiming that the file exceeds the maximum size allowed, so need to increase the size.
solution 1
You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize
and post_max_size
in your php.ini
:
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M
; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M
After modifying php.ini
file(s), you need to restart your HTTP server to use the new configuration.
solution 2
You can change it via an .htaccess
file.
The following should enable you to increase your upload limit (if the server provider allows PHP config changes via .htaccess
).
php_value upload_max_filesize 40M
php_value post_max_size 42M
