Raising PHP upload limit without PHP.ini and .htaccess

Hello friends,

I am trying to up my upload limit on my share hosting.

I don’t have access to php.ini and I tried adding php_value upload_max_filesize 10M to an .htaccess file but it made my directory disappear when viewing via the browser.

Any help?

See it here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#indexes

<Directory /path/to/directory>
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Does your site work again when if you remove the line with the upload_max_filesize?

If so, then setting PHP values in htaccess isn’t allowed, and you won’t be able to change your max upload size…

I’ve already contacted him about the changing php.ini and got denied.

When I used the .htacess file, my directory disappeared when accessing it via the browser. This is what’s in my .htaccess file…

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\\.php|images|css|js|robots\\.txt|favicon\\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M

Is that OK? What can I do to not make the folder disappear?

If you want to increase your uplaod_max_filesize but you can’t do that using php.ini or .htaccess, you need to contact your host. You cannot update it in any other manner, unfortunately.
