Change `upload_max_filesize` in your PHP configuration (php.ini) file — Akshay Khale, May 01 '20 at 04:04

Try increase your upload_max_filesize

first way :

You can increase with php ini_set : http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php ex :

ini_set('post_max_size', '64M');
ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '64M');

second way :

via .htaccess, make sure your web server allow .htaccess rewrite

php_value upload_max_filesize 40M
php_value post_max_size 42M

third way :

set the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size in your php.ini, then restart your web server :

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

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

I used the 3rd way and it worked, thank you! – Kaouther Mouheb May 01 '20 at 16:42 — Kaouther Mouheb, May 01 '20 at 16:42

You can edit this kind of setting from php.ini. Please change value of upload_max_filesize. It will allow you to change the maximal limit of upload file size.

FYI: After modifying php.ini file, you need to restart your server.
