php_ini

[Scooby08]

I have been searching around for answers as to how I can change the php_ini settings without actually having access to that file.. I am trying to increase the size of files that one may upload.. I have tried a couple different ways so far..

 

First I tried putting this at the top of the page:

 

<?php

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

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

?>

 

No luck there.. I have read somewhere that you cannot change these settings in the file itself. So then I tried through .htaccess file using this..

 

php_value post_max_size 4M

php_value upload_max_filesize 4M

 

Any ideas out there for me to try??

Is php running as an Apache module or as a CGI application? And have you checked with your web host if they allow you to change those settings?

 

You can only put php settings in a .htaccess file when php is running as an Apache module and your web host allows it. You can only put php settings in a local php.ini when php is running as a CGI application and your web host allows it.

Ya I was going to say that maybe your web host because many don't allow you to change the max upload size. Ask them to increase it for you...

you can try creating a local php.ini file.

 

make a file called php.ini and set those values in it. Then run a php_info() script and see if that changes anything for you.
