I can't upload files larger than 8 mb

Question

I created a php script with a limit of 500mb but it does not work. I have read that it could be due to php.ini size limit but I can't find php.ini in the server where the site is located. Anyway, if somebody has got an idea about what more I can do apart from modificating the php.ini file, please tell me.

Thank you

EDIT: I have been in contant with my hosting provider and they can't set the "upload_max_filesize" variable up to 64Mb. I looked for information about VPS and I have found out that it needs advanced knowledge in network systems which I do not have... Would it be any other alternative to this? Moreover, the hosting provider offered me a VPS managed by them but the cost is too high (about 150€/month).

I can't find the file "php.ini". Could you tell me where is it? — alfuco, Oct 23 '15 at 15:50
check if there is a file named '.user.ini' in your public folder — Dimitrios Kontoulis, Oct 23 '15 at 15:54

edit the file php.ini to your server and set these variables:

upload_max_filesize = 500MB
post_max_size = 500MB

Find your servers php.ini file, usually located in /etc directory (if you have full server access) and change the following:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 40M

; Must be greater than or equal to upload_max_filesize
post_max_size = 40M

It sounds to me like you're using shared hosting. Contact your hosting provider, they're probably limiting your upload_max_filesize because you're on shared hosting. If this is the case I'm not sure or anything that will fix it other than getting a VPN

If you don't have access to your /etc/php.ini you can use .htacess

See this answer: How to set upload_max_filesize in .htaccess?
