By default, the maximum upload file size for PHP scripts is set to 128 megabytes. However, you may want to change these limits. For example, you can set a lower limit to prevent users from uploading large files to your site. To do this, change the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size directives. To ensure that file uploads work correctly, the post_max_size directive should be a little larger than the upload_max_filesize. For example, the following settings demonstrate how to set a file upload limit to 1024 megabytes:

max_execution_time = 6000 or 12000
max_input_time = 6000 or 12000
max_input_vars = 6000 or 12000
memory_limit = 512M or 1024M
post_max_size = 2048M
upload_max_filesize = 1024M
