However, the server that hosts the web-site isn't allowing files greater than 2MB. Tech support, for the host, states that the .htaccess file, that allows larger file sizes should be stored in the same directory as the .php files. As stated above, I have placed that file in both the main machform folder and also in the individual folder for that form. Still, the form will not accept files greater than 2MB.

It is right underneath where you set how many files to upload. jimarner on "Where should .htaccess file be stored?" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/where-should-htaccess-file-be-stored#post-23746 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 16:35:57 +0000 jimarner 23746@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I have a form that allows users to upload 3 image files (.jpg). Currently, the form allows a maximum file-size of 2MB. I want to change that to a maximum file-size of 4MB. I have written a .htaccess file with the following lines: php_value upload_max_filesize 4M php_value post_max_size 16M The form still only allows files of 2MB size or smaller. I have placed the .htaccess file in the machform folder and also in the folder for the particular form. Here is the link to the form: <a href="http://www.rmaba.org/rmbpf/fi-submission-form.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.rmaba.org/rmbpf/fi-submission-form.html</a> Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
