php.ini

[kingsleymyers@aol.com]

I have a client with a need for an "upload_max_fil esize" directive
[php.ini] in excess of 10MB. Their current host [FatCow] will not
budge. They need something in the range of 15MB to 20MB. Will this
require a dedicated server? Can someone recommend an affordable
solution?

They anticipate this to be used mostly from October to January / 2
people per day / average file size of 6MB.

Thanks in advance.

Try adding in a .htaccess file (if php is an apache module):

php_value upload_max_file size 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M

Test it. If it works, ask the host if that is acceptable to them. If
not, find a host that will allow this (or some other form of editing
settings for the domain).

If changing hosts is too much, there are utilities out there that will
split files into pieces. Google "split files", "file splitter", etc

Thanks Aaron and Justin. I have forwarded the suggestions to my client
for testing.
