how do i modify php settings?

[billy_talent]

hi all,
I have the problem that, depending on speed of connection when uploading a large file, I get sent to a 'page not found', after uploading 1 mb or so
I read that I need to change some php settings such as max_execution_time and max_input_time in php.ini but could someone tell me how to do this?

thanks very much in advance,
billy!

In addition to the above. Change the value "upload_max_filesize" to a higher value..

There's also a chapter in the manual.

hi guys, thanks so much for your responses, I've contacted my webhost and they've recommended using a .htaccess in my home directory to change the PHP settings locally, based on this info found here - http://www.karakas-online.de/EN-Book/change-php-parameters.html

the code that I have included in my .htaccess file is as so..

php_flag register_globals off
php_value max_execution_time 9000
php_flag max_input_time -1
php_value memory_limit "16M"

but im still experiencing the same problems, what on earth am i doing wrong?
thanks for all your help, i greatly appreciate any suggestions

Why not just ask your webhost? Our suggestions apparently don't make the cut.
