Unable to upload files exceeding php.ini set size

Frederick

I am having issues with uploading files larger then the set hosting upload_max_filesize() set in the php.ini

I used ini_set("upload_max_filesize","10000000"); to alter the setting, but this did not work.
I also used ini_set("max_execution_time","180"); to alter the execution time incase the script was timing out.

All has failed. Please suggest a different method or show me what I am doing wrong.

according to http://www.php.net/ini-set the value upload_max_filesize cannot be changed within the script
try .htaccess, if that wont't work you got to ask your hoster

max_execution_time can be changed inside the script
if it won't work, your hoster did not give you permission to do so

As explained on the manual page for ini_set(), the value of upload_max_filesize can NOT be altered at the script level. It is marked as PHP_INI_PERDIR, which is defined as "Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf."
