How can I upload files larger than 2MB in PHP,I searched the Internet and i changed the php.ini
file,the line is: "upload_max_filesize = 200M"
,but I still can't upload even 2 MB file.
What seems to be the problem?
Please help me.Thanks in advance.
As you guessed, you have to set upload_max_filesize
...
But you also have to set post_max_size
(quoting) :
Sets max size of post data allowed.
This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger thanupload_max_filesize
.
There are also other options which could limit this:
max_input_time = 600
php_value max_execution_time = 600
post_max_size = 200M
(...and restart Apache)
Put the following code in side the .htaccess file and save it.
php_value upload_max_filesize 200M
php_value post_max_size 200M
php_value max_input_time 2000
Try setting it with within PHP script (on top)..
ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "255M");
ini_set("post_max_size, "256M");
get your php.ini-dist file,
Once upon a time I'm facing this problem with my WAMP server, and when I search for solution, I stumbled upon to this discussion. So, if someone have the same problem, this is my working solution, I hope this help:
I'm using WAMP stack. By reading your comment above, you are using WAMP stack too. In case you don't know, WAMP server has 2 (two) php.ini (in PHP directory and Apache directory) configuration, one for CLI and the other for Apache itself ( see php.ini on WAMP server ). So, I create info.php to detect which php.ini use by my server, and in my case that is the one in Apache directory ( see Which PHP Ini file does my WAMP webpage uses?).
Open your php.ini that used by your server, and as @Pascal Martin suggested, change upload_max_filesize
and also set post_max_size
then restart your server.
Check again your info.php, make sure the value of upload_max_filesize
and post_max_size
has changed to your desired value.
Restart Apache.
It's worked for me, hope this help.
To upload the larger file, one needs to change/increase the value of both post_max_size and upload_max_filesize directives from the php.ini file.
upload_max_filesize = 200M post_max_size = 201M
This will increase upload limits on a single file to 200 MB, from the default of 2 MB.
