I submit to the Drupal comunity this compilation of info regarding the 2Mb PHP Upload limit. Could somebody with some Drupal/php expirence please check my notes. This is my first contribution:
Increasing Drupal/Upload's Maximum upload limit
2Mb PHP Upload Limit Audio Video <- my first attempt at SEO also.
To increase you’re sites upload limit editing the file php.ini and/or .htaccess is necessary.
[is this the right order to tell people to try? It sounds like .htaccess is ezer to deal with but seems like php.ini is more usefull ]
php.ini
*not all web hosts allow editing this file
According to the file itself:
This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
The upshot is that you need a php.ini file in you're Drupal folder with the lines:
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = xM
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = xM
Where x = twice the required upload size.
If you plan on using big files, a slow server or both, it may be necessary to change the max execution time.
