this is whats in my .htaccess

# Do not remove this line, otherwise mod_rewrite rules will stop working
php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200
RewriteBase /

do i have to allow overwrite somewhere?? if so where should i do so?
i have echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize') . "<br />"; in my php file and it shows that the upload_max_filesize is only at 2M
and thus my upload script isnt working for files over 2M
I want to up this to 10-20 M
thx

i dont use php, but looking at your method name, i don't suppose there's an ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '20M') is there?

i googled it for you.

What host are you on? You may have to research for a solution specifically with your host.
If you are hosting the webserver on your own, it'll be as simple as writing


inside your /php/php.ini file.

some free server host, i sent a support ticket to ask about this ;o
hopefully they'll give me a solution

free hosts often cap file upload size at 2 or 5 mb.

yes i just got their reply, its cap'd at 2

you said "upload script". i assume you want users to upload files? you can just break it into pieces and upload as 2MB chunks.
