 * I have been reading ‘How to change upload limit’ and people say I have to edit
   php.ini.
 * My limit stands at 2mb, and I want to rise it up to 25mb. So where can I locate
   php.ini or is there another way?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * WizzKid

 * Might look in /etc folder, or sometimes it is in your web-root folder. If not,
   talk to your host.

 * I get this message:
 * _This file is not editable on the server and we are unable to change this for
   you for security reasons._
 * So this means that I cannot edit it, I have to always have 2mb upload limit 🙁,
   I want it for Gallery Remote (its a plugin)
 * Thanks,

 * Put this in your .htaccess file (at the top of the file):
    `php_value upload_max_filesize
   25M`
 * Sometimes that sort of thing works.

 * My hosting only supports: Mod_rewrite
 * Whatever that is :S

 * Yeah, but if they’re running php as an apache module for speed, then that will
   work.

 * so all I do is create a .htaccess file e.g. wp.htaccess and put php_value upload_max_filesize
   25M at the top?
 * Thanks for all the help 🙂
