There are some variables in the php.ini file that can be overwritten across all of our web hosting platform.  A common request is how to change the PHP file upload limit.

You can do this by creating a custom php.ini file in the directory you want the values set or in the public_html folder (the values will then be set for all files/folders).

Here is an example:

Use our on-line File Manager from your Hosting Control Panel or on your computer open a new document in Notepad, inside enter the command:

upload_max_filesize = 30M
post_max_size = 10M

This example shows the limit being set to 30MB for upload_max_filesize and 10MB for post_max_size.  You can change this to your required max file/post size.

Then save the file and name it php.ini and upload it to the directory where your scripts reside.

Uploading a PHP Info page to your hosting will then confirm these values are set.  This can be done with the following steps.

Use our on-line File Manager from your Hosting Control Panel or on your computer open a new document in Notepad, inside enter the command:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then save the file and name it phpinfo.php (for example) and upload it to the directory where your scripts reside (within the public_html folder).  You can then navigate to this file via your web browser.

We would always advise deleting the PHP Info page once finished with for security reasons!
