 Increasing Upload Limits

The maximum file upload size is a .php configuration variable found in /etc/php.ini. Somebody with root access to your machine will have to edit your php.ini file to change these limitations.

The relevant lines to edit are:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. upload_max_filesize = 2M

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. post_max_size = 8M

memory_limit = 16M
