how can I change the max file upload size or get around the 2MB default limit? Im using a remote host so I cant edit their php.ini
file upload size
max_upload_filesize with .htaccess.
I'm not sure the syntax or what to put, I've never edited the .htaccess file before
Try this:
<ifModule mod_php4.c>
php_value upload_max_filesize 4M
</IfModule>
That would go into the .htaccess file in the same directory as your script, I think. But there's also the possibility that your hosting company's server settings are such that you can't override.
