Increasing the maximum post size

Question

There is a lot of data being submitted no file uploads and the $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] is being exceeded. Can this be increased?

Answer 1

There are 2 different places you can set it:

php.ini

post_max_size=20M upload_max_filesize=20M 

.htaccess / httpd.conf / virtualhost include

php_value post_max_size 20M php_value upload_max_filesize 20M 

Which one to use depends on what you have access to.

.htaccess will not require a server restart, but php.ini and the other apache conf files will.
