I have this need to reconfigure the PHP of a client’s server to increase the upload_max_filesize parameter. My hosting provider ( http://www.superior-host.com ) has always done these things for me. I asked my client to request their hosting provider to do this, and they ( http://www.machighway.com ) came back with
I have given you access to the php.ini file so that you can increase this limit and also have access to other setting you may need in the future. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist.
Only, with no instruction as to how to find the php.ini file, let alone edit it - so I am throwing this out to see if there is anything I can do beyond begging my client to run interference with their hosting provider.
Servers vary, depending on the OS and version, and the whim of the sysadmin who built it, as to where they put this file. If you have command-line access, you can type ‘locate php.ini’ in a terminal prompt and you should get a bunch of matches. (Some will be demo files, and there may be more than one actual live ini files in use (they merge, similar to how CSS is applied to a page.) Once you find one of them, you can add one of your own in the folder above your site root:
youraccount/
htdocs/
index.html
php.ini
That file will merge with the other(s) that are further up the directory hierarchy.
