Changing upload max filesize on PHP

Question

I m using PHP 5 3 0 and have encountered something that might be a bug  in which case I ll report it  or might be me - so I m asking to make sure   When running this code    lt  php ini set  upload max filesize    10M    echo ini get  upload max filesize           ini get  post max size     I end up with   2M  8M   This is despite my php ini setting these higher   upload max filesize   10M post max size   10M    occuring only once   Because the error occurs after setting the value as well as it being set in php ini I m inclined to think it s a bug  Can anyone confirm or point me where I m going wrong   Update  Looks like restarting Apache fixed this - I always thought it didn t need to be restarted if you changed php ini

You can t use shorthand notation to set configuration values outside of PHP ini  I assume it s falling back to 2MB as the compiled default when confronted with a bad value   On the other hand  I don t think upload max filesize could be set using ini set    The  official  list states that it is PHP INI PERDIR

By default  PHP permits uploading maximum 2 MB file on the server  But you can modify the maximum size of file upload as per your condition  By using the PHP configuration file php ini  you can increase or decrease the file upload size in PHP  First open the php ini file in your text editor  Search the upload max filesize variable and stipulate the size which you want to increase  Search for post max size variable and stipulate the size which you want to increase  post max size   128M  you can check this from here
