Changing upload_max_filesize on PHP
php, upload
Solution
You can't use shorthand notation to set configuration values outside of PHP.ini. I assume it's falling back to 2MB as the compiled default when confronted with a bad value.
On the other hand, I don't think `upload_max_filesize` could be set using `ini_set()`. The "official" list states that it is `PHP_INI_PERDIR` .
Problem
I'm using PHP 5.3.0 and have encountered something that might be a bug (in which case I'll report it) or might be me - so I'm asking to make sure. When running this code: ``` <?php ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '10M'); echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize'), ", " , ini_get('post_max_size') ``` I end up with: ``` 2M, 8M ``` This is despite my php.ini setting these higher: ``` upload_max_filesize = 10M post_max_size = 10M ``` (occuring only once) Because the error occurs after setting the value as well as it being set in php.ini I'm inclined to think it's a bug. Can anyone confirm or point me where I'm going wrong? Update: Looks like restarting Apache fixed this - I always thought it didn't need to be restarted if you changed php.ini.
