How to upload files which are larger than 2 MB

If you want to upload files using PHP to a server which are larger than 2 MB and there is a limit (e.g. 2 MB) on the server, you can do following steps:

• See your PHP Info - create file called e.g. info.php and add following php code to this file:

echo phpinfo();

• Run this file on your server and you will see all PHP settings
• See upload_max_filesize directive

It is your server:

• If there is only 2M (2 MB), you should increase your upload filesize in your php.ini
• Open your php.ini (linux: /etc/php.ini, windows: C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT) and change or add the following piece of code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files
upload_max_filesize = 4M

• Save your php.ini and restart your server

It is not your server:

• Try to add the following code to your index.php file (or your main script file):

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '4M');

• If it doesn't work, you must contact your server support.
