How can I upload files larger than 10MB?

Question

This script is working but only for files around 10 MB or less. Anything more and I am getting a file error:

error = There was an error uploading software

I want to upload larger files, like 50MB, or even files several GB large.

<form action="../../programming/softupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" class="uploader">
    <p class="close">x</p>
    <h3>Upload software</h3>
    <input type="text" class="f1" name="name" placeholder="Software name" required>
    <input class="ch1" type="file" id="file" name="filer" required>
    <label for="file" class="f2">Upload software</label>
    <input class="ch2" type="file" id="file2" name="filer2" required>
    <label for="file2" class="f3">Upload image</label>
    <select name="bitss" class="bitss" required>
        <option value="0" selected="1">Version</option>
        <option value="32">32 [Bit]</option>
        <option value="64">64 [Bit]</option>
    </select>
    <input class="ch3" type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

<?php

I think there is something wrong in my script, but I can't figure it out.

you should check the `max_execution_time`, `post_max_size` and `upload_max_filesize` settings - override if necessary. Also - `set_time_limit(0);` — Professor Abronsius, Dec 15 '19 at 07:49
You're not using prepared statements correctly. You need to parameterize your variables. — Dharman, Dec 15 '19 at 11:35
Sure please read this carefully. You have PHP variables in your SQL instead of placeholders `?` https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7537377/how-to-include-a-php-variable-inside-a-mysql-statement — Dharman, Dec 15 '19 at 22:55
@Dharman bro i am getting confused can you fix my code if you don't mind please. — Alex, Dec 15 '19 at 23:27
Look into chunked uploads. You’re going to need to break your file into chunks and upload them asynchronously using JavaScript. — Martin Bean, Dec 16 '19 at 16:41
@Alex Please check the value of `$fileError` against the list of error codes on https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php. Which error code is it when you get the error message you printed? — Progman, Dec 16 '19 at 18:00

Create a file .htaccess add the following code

php_value upload_max_filesize 72M
php_value post_max_size 72M

It will increase your upload limit (if the server allows PHP config changes through.htaccess). or do it using PHP

ini_set('post_max_size', '72M');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '72M');

Where 72M is your maximum allowed upload size
