Question

I am trying to upload large files through my cms and was wondering how to change the php.ini file for heart internet.

Is this possible in shared hosting, if not are there any other work arounds?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

It depends on whether your web hosting company allows you to override certain PHP settings or not. It might be possible to change some values but not others.

Secondly, the process for overriding settings differs depending on whether your hosting is IIS or Apache. If its Apache, try adding these two lines to your .htaccess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 8M
php_value post_max_size       8M

This .htaccess file should do to the directory where your php upload script resides, or higher. I’d rather put it in the root directory.

Once done, create a php page containing this code:

<?php phpinfo( ); ?>

Compare the Local Value and Master Value of these settings to see if the changes are in effect.
