What are the maximum file upload and timeout settings for PHP, and can I change these?

You can change these parameters using a php.ini (or php4.ini if you are using PHP4) file. Simply create a file of this name in the same directory of your script (or update the existing file), with the content:-

upload_max_filesize = 20M ;
post_max_size = 20M ;
max_execution_time = 60 ;

(this example would increase the maximum upload to 20MB, and timeout to 60seconds).

Why does my PHP script fail with 'Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted'?
My CGI/ASP/PHP script is giving an error when trying to write to a file.
My script needs a higher memory allocation, how do I increase it?
Scripts on my old server ran under permission 777 but I have so many files to alter. Is there an easy way of doing this?
My PHP script gives the error 'Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()'
