I wanna change the upload_max_filesize value without changing the php.ini file. In the process of searching, I got to know that by using .user.ini file also, we can change the upload_max_filesize. I have made the .user.ini as follows upload_max_filesize = 50M and placed the file in xampp folder But not working as expected, where did I do wrong? where should I place the file to effect? Please suggest me right way to achieve.Thanks in advance.

Php manual page states that .user.ini are like .htaccess files and work on a per-directory basis. The same doc's also state that you can achieve the same results by using .htaccess files in case you are running php as Apache module. This answer, This article and This part of doc's also shed some light on what can be set inside .user.ini files.

Now considering that you are using xammp and judging by the doc's:

Looks like instead of using .user.ini you are better off using .htaccess. Also as far as I got it php.ini must have user_ini.filename set and uncommented and also .user.ini must be located in the same folder as .htaccess for a site/script/setup. For xammp .htaccess place greatly depends on setups. For exaple site sourse code can be placed in a separate folder inside htdocs folder (Virtual hosts). But it's only one way of setups.

This is not really an answer, but all this research did not fit in the comments.
