Increase "post_max_size" and "upload_max_filesize" only for a specific PHP file, and not for the whole server

I know, as explained in PHP file upload error tmp_name is empty, how to increase these values in php.ini:

upload_max_filesize = 50M 
post_max_size = 50M

However, how to enable such settings only for one site / one .php script and not globally for all the PHP sites hosted with the same Apache server?

Is there a way to put this is a local configuration, such as .htaccess, and not globally?

Solution

  • Take a look at the directives page, there's a column "Changeable". This shows how it's possible to change each setting, e.g only in php.ini, or with .htaccess or ini_set etc.

    An explanation of each possible mode is here.

    For both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, the mode is PHP_INI_PERDIR.

    Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess, httpd.conf or .user.ini (since PHP 5.3)

    So yes, you can use entries in .htaccess files for both:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
php_value post_max_size 50M
