Description:
------------
I have changed following in php.ini, Still when I run phpinfo() I get upload_max_filesize as 2M while other two getchanged.

upload_max_filesize 2000M
post_max_size 2000M
memory_limit 2000M

I have also tried creating php.ini in same directory as script  with above settings. I have also tried creating .htaccess with 

php_value upload_max_filesize 2000M

Still all scrips return 2M even with ini_get.

Please check or tell how to change upload_max_filesize

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize'); ?>

Expected result:
----------------
2000M

Actual result:
--------------
2M

Works just fine here.

I've got the same problem:
any changes in section File Uploads has no effect
(upload_max_filesize and upload_tmp_dir)

I'm using php 5.2.0-8 in apache-ssl on Debian.

It happens after upgreading php from php4 to php5. Before this upgrade I could upload larger files and there was everything ok...

Can anyone help me?

I believe this is fixed in PHP 5.1.6

I had the same problem inn IIS 5.0. I noticed that IIS was picking php.ini from c:\program files\php folder instead of c:\php where I expected it to be.

When I changed php.ini in c:\program files\php folder, I had the desitred result.

just check your PC incase there is another installation of php.

I had similar problems, I'm using MAMP.  I changed the right config file but nothing was getting changed when I ran php.

Turned out I had a rogue copy of a php.ini file in my root (/Volumes/Leopard) on a mac.  when the server ran it found this copy and used IT as the config file (I guess over riding the specified config file).  As soon as I found (!) and deleted that root copy, the correct one was then being seen... problem solved.

Do a system wide search on php.ini and make sure there aren't any stray copies kicking around.

I am running PHP 5.3.6 (cli) (built: Mar 19 2011 08:30:07)
Setting upload_max_filesize = 10485760 does nothing.
Setting upload_max_filesize = 10MB does nothing.

The filesize reported by the system is always 2M. 
I have also tried using an .htaccess file in the upload directory to no avail.

In response to my last post, I discovered that simply running sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl —graceful was the problem. After running sudo /sbin/service httpd restart, everything is now working. Hope this helps somebody else.
