Every server running has limitations including file upload, If you need to upload bigger file, you need to adjust PHP settings. If you are running web server on Linux, mostly you can search the settings file on /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini if your web server running on Windows(xampp/wampp) mostly you’ll find it on \wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini Just open that file with plain text editor. Do a search for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
Here’s the end result for my setting’s file:
[shell]
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; php.net/post-max-size
post_max_size = 50M
[/shell]
and
[shell]
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 50M
[/shell]
You need to reload / restart the Apache’s service after that.
[shell]
pupungbp@whiterose:/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
[/shell]
Test the upload now.
