im a newbie i dont know development environment, but i download XAMPP — user1933652, Dec 28 '12 at 06:18
@user1933652 XAMPP is a web server. If your code works then the server is running. You need to shut it down and then start it again. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6275499/xampp-dont-know-how-to-restart — Sverri M. Olsen, Dec 28 '12 at 06:21

i tried stop then start in xampp control panel but it still didnt work! — user1933652, Dec 28 '12 at 06:26
There are multiple php.ini files. Check which php.ini file is loaded and confirm that you have changed in same php.ini file. You can check it by php_ini_loaded_file() function. May be it helps. — Bhavik Shah, Dec 28 '12 at 06:28
@BhavikShah The guy is in windows and he's using xampp so there's only one php.ini file.You have to change 2 values in php.ini to increase upload size.Check my solution. — Mevin Babu, Dec 28 '12 at 06:29
@MevinBabu: If there is only one php.ini in Xampp, then can you please tell me why phpinfo is still showing old config when he has changed it in one php.ini. Just a question out of curiosity. — Bhavik Shah, Dec 28 '12 at 06:34

Maybe because of his cache or he might have 2 copies of XAMPP on his system! — Mevin Babu, Dec 28 '12 at 06:35
I have a problem i stop apache in xamppp control panel and ican't start it again!!!! — user1933652, Dec 28 '12 at 06:41
@user1933652 Do not panic . Some other application must be using the port.Check how may XAMPP is running and also check if any messenger,skype or other internet applications are running.If running then disable them and try again.As a last resort try restarting your computer — Mevin Babu, Dec 28 '12 at 06:46
I tried all your suggestions but phpinfo() still show max_file_uploads 20 — user1933652, Dec 28 '12 at 07:00

You have to change the values in php.ini file.Your php.ini file is in xampp\php\php.ini

You have to change both these values to be able to upload bigger files,

Example to change it into 100Mb set :

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

Note: After you edit your php.ini file restart xampp or apache server to see the difference.
