Not able to upload file with size more than 5 MB, issue with html input file size

Question

I am working on PHP and making a script to upload video, I have set the max file size on php.ini to 20MB but still when I select a video of size more than 5MB, the form does not even get posted while it does with file size less than 5MB.

I updated these values in php.ini

post_max_size = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 500M

And below is my form :

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    echo "hello";
}

?>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action = "">
<input type="file" name = "file" data-max-size="100048">
<input type="submit" name = "submit">
</form>

Any help highly appreciated.

no errors, it does not post .. like it just displays on the title bar the spinning wheel for a while and comes back with nothing at all, without entering the post submit condition mentioned above in my php code.. and does enter the condition when the file size is less than 5MB — Sameeksha Kumari, Mar 24 '15 at 09:05
@liquidflo I also restarted apache and can see in phpinfo that max upload size is 20 MB but cant even accept more than 5MB — Sameeksha Kumari, Mar 24 '15 at 10:02

Try this, remove the data-max-size attribute from the file-input field and use the HTML hidden field instead:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="6000000" />

Can you please explain the relation between the value of an HTML data-* attribute and Http POST size limit? – edigu Mar 24 '15 at 09:21
