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.
