I found that increasing the upload and post limit in php ini did not affect the limit in phpmyadmin   This is because my server has a separate setting for cpanel upload limit   If you have access to WHM  you probably have this   To adjust    login to your WHM panel  this is usually located at  your server ip  whm and you will need your root login details here   If you don t have those  request them from your host  once logged in  in the top left search bar  search for  tweak settings  On the tweak setting pages  search for  cPanel PHP max upload size  Adjust the number and save   No need to restart apache or anything  changes are instant   This process increased the value of max upload file size in phpmyadmin   You can check this by going to phpmyadmin and selecting your database  then clicking  import  at the top   Beside the file selector you will see the upload limit   My server default was 100

Find the file called  php ini on your server and follow below steps  With apache2 and php5 installed you need to make three changes in the php ini file   First open the file for editing  e g    sudo gedit  etc php5 apache2 php ini  OR  sudo gedit  etc php 7 0 apache2 php ini  Next  search for the post max size entry  and enter a larger number than the size of your database  15M in this case   for example   post max size   25M   Next edit the entry for memory limit and give it a larger value than the one given to post max size    Then ensure the value of upload max filesize is smaller than post max size   The order from biggest to smallest should be       memory limit     post max size     upload max filesize   After saving the file  restart apache  e g  sudo  etc init d apache2 restart  and you are set   Don t forget to Restart Apache Services for changes to be applied   For further details  click here

C  xampp php php ini in my case or it could be C  php php ini if the Apache   PHP   MySQL are stand alone  upload max filesize   2M by default  so it can be changed as desired  And in my case  upload max filesize   20M   post max size   8M by default  it should be changed to post max size   20M as well  memory limit 128M is by default and it is not necessary to change to increase the max 2056kb or 2mb  sql file upload limit  But it only means that a script can consume up to 128 memory when you run apache and sql server   and if you change memory limit 128M to higher and run any malfunctioned script then it may cause you trouble  So its up to you

How to import huge amount of Data in Xampp   It   s the best solution to open new  clean database  and import the file in phpMyAdmin  Choose file from local folder and leave all settings as is  That should be it   But if your file exceeded file size of 2MB  that is default value in xampp installation  than you need to tweak some out  Basically we will just increase the maximum upload file size   Open your xampp install folder and go to php folder  With some text editor file  notepad    open the file called php ini  by type windows describe it as configuration settings  and edit the line  cca  770  or press ctrl f  in notepad   to find it    post max size   2M  instead 2M  put wanted maximum file size  16MB for example but not higher than 128M     after that go to this line  max execution time   30 instead 30  increase execution time that   s in seconds  90 for example   also you need to change this line   max input time   60   instead 60  increase input time in seconds  120 for example  and top of all you have to change this line   upload max filesize   2M   instead of 2M  increase to 16M for example  Save the file  restart apache and mysql in xampp and try to upload again  if you follow correctly you should be able to import files through 16MB  example

The first things to check  or ask your host provider to check  are the values of max execution time  upload max filesize  memory limit and post max size in the php ini configuration file  All of these three settings limit the maximum size of data that can be submitted and handled by PHP   Please note that post max size needs to be larger than upload max filesize

Note   added July 2020  I m surprised nobody else has mentioned this     changing php ini should probably be your last resort when increasing file upload sizes to something as big as 64MB  It may not matter greatly on development machines  but editing php ini to globally increase max upload size could be a really bad idea on a server where you have several websites operating  MySQL imports to PHPMyAdmin are often large  but you don t want every Tom  Dick and Mary uploading 64MB files to another site on your server because you need to do it every now and again for your MySQL database  I d suggest a better solution is therefore  assuming you are using the standard Apache PHP module  to edit the specific virtual host configuration for PHPMyAdmin  On Ubuntu Linux  this is found in  etc apache2 conf-enabled  phpmyadmin conf  On WAMP Windows Whatever you ll need to look at the setup for your Apache configuration  but it will probably be in conf-enabled  conf d  sites-enabled  or something like that  These are actually often just symlinks to the actual file which is located somewhere like  etc phpmyadmin apache conf  again using Ubuntu as the example here   Your apache conf file will include lines something like this  Alias  phpmyadmin  usr share phpmyadmin   lt Directory  usr share phpmyadmin gt      Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch     DirectoryIndex index php        limit libapache2-mod-php to files and directories necessary by pma      lt IfModule mod php7 c gt           php admin value upload tmp dir  var lib phpmyadmin tmp         php admin value open basedir  usr share phpmyadmin   etc phpmyadmin   var lib phpmyadmin   usr share php php-gettext   usr share php php-php-gettext   usr share javascript   usr share php tcpdf   usr share doc phpmyadmin   usr share php phpseclib   usr share php PhpMyAdmin   usr share php Symfony   usr share php Twig   usr share php Twig-Extensions   usr share php ReCaptcha   usr share php Psr Container   usr share php Psr Cache   usr share php Psr Log   usr share php Psr SimpleCache       lt  IfModule gt    lt  Directory gt   Immediately after  lt IfModule mod php7 c gt  add these lines      php value post max size 64M     php value upload max filesize 64M  Depending on your server config  you can probably achieve the same thing in an  htaccess file if you prefer  In which case you could just add the two lines by themselves  assuming you know for certain that PHP is enabled   If you use fpm or fastcgi or something with or without Apache  the same more localized approach to controlling upload sizes can be achieved by using  user ini files

Increase phpMyAdmin upload   import size  By default you get a 2mb limit of upload   import size in phpmyadmin  That makes it odd and highly impossible to import larger files  You can increase the allowed upload size of phpmyadmin by editing your server   s php ini configuration file  Usually in servers like CentOs it is located at  etc php ini   Step 1  Go to php ini and find the following and change their values to something more higher than your database size   In this example i have used 20mb    upload max filesize   20M  post max size   20M   Step2   Restart your apache service for this new change to take effect  Usually the command to restart apache would be  service httpd restart  CentOs    service apache2 restart  ubuntu    You can also restart directly from their path like   etc init d apache2 restart or  etc init d httpd restart   If you are in a shared hosting and do not have root access or access to your php ini configuration file  then the other way is to create a  htaccess file in your application root and add the following line  php value upload max filesize 10M php value post max size 10M   If you were still not able to increase it  please send me an email for more detailed assistance
