wladia viviani: you can move items into your apache’s httpd.conf file – but that means the changes are only picked up on Apache’s restart. However if things won’t change often then it’ll save IO and processing on each request

erik neuwirth: php_value upload_max_filesize 10M as in the example right at the top :)

I know “everybody” knows this but it’s good to have a dev environment that’s the same as your live environment but enable php errors to be seen. What we do is simply have a dev htaccess file that contains

# Eror Handling: php_flag display_errors on php_flag display_startup_errors on

Then we can see any fallout on dev before live just swallows the problems (we don’t want to burden the user with an unset variable being erroneously used!)

I am not an experienced coder. I have access to the .htaccess file. What exactly do I need to put in the file to increase my Upload file size limit? I’d greatly appreciate any help. Thank you all!

Wow that’s exactly what I needed to simplify my life. Thank you!

Of course you could simply place
these in the .htaccess file, but
.htaccess is a viable alternative if
your host doesn’t allow you to touch
the .htaccess file.

Maybe you meant httpd.conf? Or php.ini?

Consider reading the following, to get better understading of .htaccess and how it works. It really depends on your httpd.conf what you can do with the .htaccess file.

Readers may be interested by reading this page on the PHP documentation : How to change configuration settings. That is said you can also use the ini_set php function, which is an alternative to the .htaccess method.@Antoine Leclair: There is always the official documentation. You can find it for the last version of Apache, and you have a .htaccess tutorial.

Another way to do it is to use PHP's native ini_set() function

@Chris Coyier: The upload limit is the one I change the most.

@Antoine Leclair: I haven't found one great one -- Google usually yields the best results.

@Ahmed: php_flag and _php_value can be written in httpd.conf in FastCGI, but not in .htaccess file. if PHP is running as module, you can do anything with .htaccess

I’ll remember that one, thanks !

.htaccess has a lot of capabilities, do you know if there’s a reference for it, or a listing of the possibilities somewhere ?
