PHP Increase Upload File Size Limit

Your php installation putting limits on upload file size. The default will restrict you to a max 2 MB upload file size. You need to set the following two configuration options:

1. upload_max_filesize - The maximum size of an uploaded file.
2. memory_limit - This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.
3. post_max_size - Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. If memory limit is enabled by your configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.
There are two methods two fix this problem.

Method # 1: Edit php.ini

# vi /etc/php.ini

memory_limit = 32M
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 20M

 

Method #2: Edit .htaccess

# vi /home/httpd/html/.htaccess 

php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value memory_limit 32M
