I suggest that you should change to post max size from 8M to 32M in the php ini file

In Some cases  you need to increase the maximum execution time   max execution time 30   I made it   max execution time 600000   then I was happy

8388608 bytes is 8M  the default limit in PHP  Those changes to php ini should indeed solve the problem  make sure your restart your Apache server after making them    Memory limit shouldn t need to be changed here

If you are using Php 5 6 X versions in windows using Wamp  then file location may be in    C  Windows php ini  Just try with   post max size   100M    Try to do changes in Apache one  By that your Wamp XAMP load  ini file

I disagree  but the solution to increase the file size in php ini or  htaccess won t work if the user sends a file larger than allowed by the server application  I suggest validating this on the front end  For example   x000D   x000D    document  ready function              your input file id   bind  change   function             var fileSize   this files 0  size 1024 1024          if  fileSize  gt  2       2M             alert  Your custom message for max file size exceeded                    your input file id   val                            x000D   x000D   x000D

There might be more than just one php ini file  For example  when using WAMP there are 2 php ini files in following directories      C  wamp bin apache apache2 4 9 bin   C  wamp bin php php5 5 12     You need to edit the first one

Try pasting this to  htaccess and it should work   php value post max size 2000M php value upload max filesize 2500M php value max execution time 6000000 php value max input time 6000000 php value memory limit 2500M

User · Answer

you just setting at php ini  then set    upload max filesize   1000M  post max size   1000M    then restart your xampp   Check the image

post max size should be slightly bigger than upload max filesize  because when uploading using HTTP POST method the text also includes headers with file size and name  etc   If you want to successfully uppload 1GiB files  you have to set   upload max filesize   1024M post max size   1025M   Note  the correct suffix for GB is G  i e  upload max filesize   1G   No need to set memory limit
