I have a website hosted on a PC I have no access to. I have an upload form allowing people to upload mp3 files up to 30MB big. My server side script is done in PHP.

Every time I try and upload a file, I receive an error claiming that the file exceeds the maximum size allowed, so I need to increase the size. My research on the web suggested changing the .htaccess file which I do not have access to, so that won’t work. Others suggested that I should add a custom php.ini file to my root which did not work. Any other suggestions?

    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.

    If you can’t change your php.ini, you’re out of luck. You cannot change these values at run-time; uploads of file larger than the value specified in php.ini will have failed by the time execution reaches your call to ini_set.

    See the Description of core php.ini directives.
