Introduction

PHP upload max filesize defines the maximum size allowed for individual file uploads, and adjusting this limit is essential for applications requiring large file submissions. Video uploads, high-resolution image submissions, large document transfers, or backup file uploads may exceed default size limits, causing upload failures or incomplete file transfers. DirectAdmin’s PHP Settings interface provides a straightforward method for configuring individual file size limits through custom PHP overrides. This guide explains how to modify upload max filesize using the Account Manager > PHP Settings section in DirectAdmin, enabling your applications to accept appropriately sized file uploads based on your specific requirements.
