How to change the post_max_size

[zhengzhi]

I have been working on a project which will post some image to the server, it works well for the thumbnails, but when I start to send the original one, every time it fails, so I am wondering if it is because of the limitation of post in php.
I go through some thread in the community, and go to "select php version"->"switch to php setting", and try to find the "post_max_size", but it's not there, the screenshot is shown as below,


so, can anyone help me with this.

Thank you

I dont know if this will work but adding the following lines to .htacess may work

php_value upload_max_filesize xxM
php_value post_max_size xxM

Replace xx with your own values

I dont know if this will work

x10hosting's free-hosting accounts do not have access to change the [ php.ini ] file on their server

with this test PHP script on my free-hosting server [ xo3 ]

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

print "\"PHP maximum upload file size\" is ==>" . ini_get('upload_max_filesize') . "<==<br>\n<br>\n";

print "\"PHP maximum post file size\" is ==>" . ini_get('post_max_size') . "<==<br>\n<br>\n";
?>

I 'see'...
"PHP maximum upload file size" is ==>16M<==

"PHP maximum post file size" is ==>16M<==

And please note that 16MB is actually overkill here, since files over 10MB will be automatically deleted after about 4 hours anyway. A higher limit may be useful for files that are to be processed and discarded, but for files that are to be used/served as-is, a higher limit wouldn't be any help at all.

Mate, idk if you can read but I said
"adding the following lines to .htaccess may work" not php.ini

End-user access to php_ini variables, through any means (including .htaccess and ini_set()) is restricted on Free Hosting.

I can read just fine

your code (lines) would try to change the values from the [ php.ini ] file that are used by the server
x10hosting has free-hosting accounts blocked from doing that on their servers

"AllowOverride Options" and/or "AllowOverride All" privileges are set off
or they run PHP in CGI mode (not a Apache module)
