Community /Pin to ProfileBookmarksame way you did with your local machine, unless you're server is being hosted by someone and somewhere where you can't get to then the only option is to contact the provider and ask them if/how you can change it [URL=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php]this document[/URL] useful if you want to attempt the way I'm referring to.
@NogDogNov 12.2005 — #Looks like if your PHP version is 4.2.3 or older, you can modify in the script with the ini_set() function. On any newer version, only by modification of php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf.
and if i changed that in my page, will it change the ini once the page is executed?!i tried this code in the page which uploads the file but it didnt work. if i used FTP to connect to server from PHP, will that solve the problem of upload file size, or same problem?!
I'm not sure why it may be different before 4.2.3 but here is my take on it... [B]ini_set[/B] just cannot be used to reset this value. The simple reason is the timeline. First the request along with the post data is sent to the server and is handled as per defaults stored in php.ini or modifications contained in .htaccess. Once the data has arrived at the server if it doesn't comply with the settings of these two files it is deleted. Then and only then does the script start to run. As can be deduced from this even if your script contains [B]ini_set[/B] that cannot be used to change things that have already happened.
If you are on a shared server and can make changes in .htaccess that are specific to your virtual server, you could use something like the following:

As perhttp://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php#ini.list :
I wasn't suggesting you were wrong, it's just that I don't understand why. Either:
1) my argument is flawed,
2) the timeline was altered
3) this was altered because it was considered a security loophole.
4) something else

when i updated it and uploaded it, it didnt want to open the site, and gave error in configuration.
so here's my website when i connect to it through cPanel page and FTP, any other idea?!

[/I]It should be php_value instead of php_admin_value, php_admin_value can not be used in .htaccess files. [URL=http://es2.php.net/configuration.changes]How to change configuration settings.[/URL]
where can i set these commands: "AllowOverride Options", "AllowOverride All" ?!
Go back to .htaccess and add these three lines:

well didnt you see that post, that's after i added these lines in the place you told me to.
When i tried to do this in the php page where i upload files
and then used ini_get
i found that it changed only the max_execution_time, and didnt change other, any more ideas please
PHP.ini
I updated my the PHP.ini in Windows folder that it can accepts larger uploaded file size, it workd fine on my local machine, how can i configure it on the server?!

@CipherauthorNov 15.2005 — #where exactly did you do that, on server or on your local machine, coz when i tried that on my pc, it gave me same original values, when i tried it on server, it gave me same error.When i tried to do this in the php page where i upload files
[code=php]ini_set ("post_max_size", "20M");
ini_set ("upload_max_filesize", "25M");
ini_set ("max_execution_time", "90");[/code]and then used ini_get
i found that it changed only the max_execution_time, and didnt change other, any more ideas please
