Hi,

I've been trying to change my post_max_size within my .htaccess file as in http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php is is listed as 

post_max_size "8M" PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR 

Could not get it to work, then someone in a newsgroup pointed out that it's changeble just in PHP_INI_SYSTEM as per http://ie2.php.net/ini_set:

post_max_size "8M" PHP_INI_SYSTEM 


I think the first one is wrong as it wont work in .htaccess

Thanks,
Kevin

You can change it in .htaccess file, when you use correct format:

php_value post_max_size 8192000

This is my htaccess, i just doubled your value:

php_value upload_max_filesize 20971520
php_value post_max_size 16384000
php_value memory_limit 33554432

upload_max_filesize & memory_limit are shown in phpinfo() but post_max_size remains at 8M. Am using 4.2.2 as apache module, cant upgrade as dont have root access, that's why I'm only reporting a doc problem as two diffecent manual pages say post_max_size can be changed in PHP_INI_SYSTEM|PHP_INI_PERDIR  and then only in PHP_INI_SYSTEM
