 * Hello,
 * I cannot figure out how to increase my maximum upload file size. I have already
   tried creating a php.ini file and changing it there but it did not work.
 * My max file size is 2Mb and I want it much higher.
 * Thank you

 * Are you working on your own physical server or on a hosted account?

 * My domain is on GoDaddy. I am very new to this so I am not sure what you mean.

 * I’ve not worked on a GoDaddy account for “several years”, but I’m pretty sure
   that they won’t let you change the REAL php.ini
 * However, ask them if they allow users to manipulate PHP using a “phprc” file.
 * That is a mechanism used by hosting companies to allow individual users to manipulate
   SOME but not all PHP configuration parameters. I use DreamHost and I’m able to
   manipulate the upload limit for domains I control via the “phprc” mechanism.
 * HTH.
