Usually your hosting package limits the amout of data you can upload to 2MB, which isn’t enough for most of us. It’s good for that 200k photo, but say you’re uploading a 4MB audio clip, a video or a large PDF, you’re stuck.
Fret not my friends, for help is at hand! Put the following code in your .htaccess file and smoke it:
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
Instead of “100M” you can choose any limit you like, say 5M, 10M or whatever limit you like.
If you can’t find the .htaccess file, it might either be that
- your FTP client doesn’t display hidden files; make sure that it does
- or it doesn’t exist (in which case, create a plain text file, upload it and name it .htaccess)
