Overriding Upload_Max_Filesize

overriding upload_max_filesize

Those settings are not going to have any effect when set via ini_set.

The reason is that PHP needs those values before your script is even executed. When an upload occurs, the target script is executed when the upload is complete, so PHP needs to know the maximum sizes beforehand.

Set them in php.ini, your virtual host config, or in a .htaccess file. A typical .htaccess file would look like this:

php_value post_max_size 30M
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M

How to override upload_max_filesize in php.ini in docker image

Use UPLOAD_LIMIT env variable.
Documentation

UPLOAD_LIMIT - if set, will override the default value for apache and php-fpm (format as [0-9+](K,M,G) default value is 2048K, this will change upload_max_filesize and post_max_size values)

Example:

phpmyadmin:
  image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
   container_name: phpmyadmin
   hostname: phpmyadmin.local
   ports:
     - "8080:80"
   environment:
     PMA_HOST: mysql
     PMA_USER: root
     PMA_PASSWORD: password
     UPLOAD_LIMIT: 64M

Changing upload_max_filesize on PHP

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 .

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini error while uploading plugin

Seeing as though you've mentioned WAMP, I'm going to assume you can edit the php.ini file?

If you left click on the WAMP icon in the status bar, select the PHP menu and then click on the php.ini file in that menu. Just open it in Notepad is fine.

Then in Notepad, do a search (CTRL+F) for "upload_max_filesize", and then you can change the value that is set there.

I don't remember what the default is, but for mine, I have it set to "200M" (without the quotes). This means 200mb.

Save the file, close it, and then restart WAMP.

You should then be right to upload your plugin

ini_set(upload_max_filesize,200M) not working in php

1. http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php

upload_max_filesize "2M" PHP_INI_PERDIR

1. http://php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.modes.php

PHP_INI_PERDIR Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess, httpd.conf or .user.ini (since PHP 5.3)

So you can't use ini_set for this.

How to set upload_max_filesize in .htaccess?

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M is correct.

You will have to contact your hosters -- some don't allow you to change values in php.ini

Change the maximum upload file size

You need to set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini :

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M

; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M

After modifying php.ini file(s), you need to restart your HTTP server to use the new configuration.

If you can't change your php.ini, you're out of luck. You cannot change these values at run-time; uploads of file larger than the value specified in php.ini will have failed by the time execution reaches your call to ini_set.

See the Description of core php.ini directives.
