How can I upload a bigger image in PHP?

Question

This is my code and I need more size for image files because I can upload up to 1M

// Place image in the folder
$newname = "$pid.jpg";
move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'], "../inventory_images/$newname");
header("location: inventory_list.php");
exit();

I think that it's not PHP dependent, is it? PHP should really not yell to you about the size of the image. — Always Learning Forever, Jun 07 '14 at 06:22
php.ini sets the max image upload size as well as the max post size — Mark Miller, Jun 07 '14 at 06:22
@AkshatTripathi It could be PHP or the server or something else inbetween. The OP needs to search for the technologies being used to extend the max file upload size. — , Jun 07 '14 at 06:22
you need to edit the php.ini file and change `upload_max_filesize` — Magna, Jun 07 '14 at 06:23
i want to upload an image but php has limit for the size of image file!so i want to increase that.. — user3717204, Jun 07 '14 at 06:24
The presumption of PHP-only may be a bad lead and non-solution. The OP could be using a browser-side service or Apache or ... with additional limitations. — , Jun 07 '14 at 06:24
@JeremyMiller Perhaps, but 9 times out of 10 a PHP coder having upload issues just boils down to `upload_max_filesize` & `post_max_size` settings. — Giacomo1968, Jun 07 '14 at 06:25
Can we delete 0x21?! Why does every noob think it's needed? /end_rant — , Jun 07 '14 at 06:25
@JakeGould Could be, but when they ask how they can include php.ini in their code... are we sure? Just sayin'. — , Jun 07 '14 at 06:27

You need to edit the php.ini file on your server like so; making it 2M to cover for overhead:

upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 2M

Or you can add this to your site’s .htaccess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 2M
php_value post_max_size 2M

Since you say you are using XAMPP, you should look at this answer and this blog post. If you are on Windows, look here, C:/xampp/php/php.ini. Open that file, find the settings for upload_max_filesize and post_max_size, change them and restart XAMPP. You should be good to go then.

Or just open up or create an .htaccess file in your web server root for XAMPP and add those two lines above with the php_value prefix.

@user3717204 You are in over your head. You do not create `php.ini`. It is a server side configuration file that controls PHP. You edit that to change these values. But if you are this lost, you might need someone else to do this for you. – Giacomo1968 Jun 07 '14 at 06:29
