php.ini config file

[jblayney]

Hello,
My server has a upload fize size maximum of 2 megs, i need to change it to 40 megs... the server admin says i can put a php.ini file in the cgi-bin that will override the php.ini for the server...

So i have been trying to create my own php.ini file,, its not working... I need to know exactly what is in the document

so far i have this as my php.ini file, but it doesnt work

ini_set(upload_max_filesize, 40291456😉

is their a special way to open and close the document ?

You need to enclose the values in strings:

ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "40291456")

Also you don't put this in your php.ini file, you simply call this function in your code and it will override the settings in the php.ini for the server.
