I am kinda new to configuring a apache/mysql server , but I have a problem . I have searched and searched all over the internet and I can’t find anything that solves my problem.
I have a site which uploads a form into my mysql database , my uploading php code works fine , because I have tested it, the thing is that in this form people can upload a maximum of 9 photos , everything works fine when you upload photos under 1 MB each , the thing is that every time someone uploads photos that added up exceeds 8 MB the form doesn’t get uploaded .
It’s fine to upload , let’s say 3 photos of 2 MB each , they will be uploaded , as long as the photos uploaded added up don’t exceed 8 MB , now my question is : how can I increase the maximum memory of a row in my db to accept files that added up are larger than 8 MB , please help , thank you.

html code:

<div id="main">
    <p id="warn"><font>*</font> max 3 MB each photo</p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 1<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image0" id="image0" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 2<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image1" id="image1" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 3<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image2" id="image2" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 4<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image3" id="image3" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 5<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image4" id="image4" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 6<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image5" id="image5" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 7<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image6" id="image6" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 8<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image7" id="image7" g='image'></p>
    <p style="font-size:12px">Photo 9<input type="file" style="border:none;" name="image8" id="image8" g='image'></p>
</div>

php code :

$image0 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image0']['tmp_name']));
$image1 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name']));
$image2 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image2']['tmp_name']));
$image3 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image3']['tmp_name']));
$image4 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image4']['tmp_name']));
$image5 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image5']['tmp_name']));
$image6 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image6']['tmp_name']));
$image7 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image7']['tmp_name']));
$image8 = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['image8']['tmp_name']));
$image_size = getimagesize ($_FILES['image0']['tmp_name']);
$image_size1 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name']);
$image_size2 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image2']['tmp_name']);
$image_size3 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image3']['tmp_name']);
$image_size4 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image4']['tmp_name']);
$image_size5 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image5']['tmp_name']);
$image_size6 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image6']['tmp_name']);
$image_size7 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image7']['tmp_name']);
$image_size8 = getimagesize ($_FILES['image8']['tmp_name']);


if ($image_size==TRUE && !empty($image0))   {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic1='".$image0."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error());     
}
if ($image_size1==TRUE && !empty($image1))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic2='".$image1."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error());     
}
if ($image_size2==TRUE && !empty($image2))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic3='".$image2."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error());
}
if ($image_size3==TRUE && !empty($image3))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic4='".$image3."' WHERE id='$lastid' " ) or die (mysql_error());
}
if ($image_size4==TRUE && !empty($image4))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic5='".$image4."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error());

}
if ($image_size7==TRUE && !empty($image7))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic8='".$image7."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error()); 
}
if ($image_size8==TRUE && !empty($image8))  {
    $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE ".$tabla." SET pic9='".$image8."' WHERE id='$lastid'  " ) or die (mysql_error());

    Plsssssssssss, do not store images in your database
    i repeat, do not store images in your database. I suggest you research on why but i can give you a few heads up now;

    1. Your database will be filled up heavily in a short time. this affects backups.
    2. you cannot use cdn when things become out of hand.
    3. It takes more time getting the image from your database out to the screen than just linking to it.

    If the image has restrictions, store them outside the web root.

    You should try and research more
