POST Content-Length exceeds the limit

Question

I get similar errors in my error_log in php when users are uploading their files

PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 11933650 bytes exceeds the limi

Answer 1

If you are using Php 5.6.X versions in windows using Wamp, then file location may be in,

C:\Windows\php.ini

Just try with

post_max_size = 100M;

Try to do changes in Apache one. By that your Wamp/XAMP load .ini file

Answer 2

Try pasting this to .htaccess and it should work.

php_value post_max_size 2000M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2500M
php_value max_execution_time 6000000
php_value max_input_time 6000000
php_value memory_limit 2500M

Answer 3

In Some cases, you need to increase the maximum execution time.

max_execution_time=30

I made it

max_execution_time=600000

then I was happy.

Answer 4

you just setting at php.ini

then set :

upload_max_filesize = 1000M;
post_max_size = 1000M;

then restart your xampp.. Check the image

Answer 5

I suggest that you should change to post_max_size from 8M to 32M in the php.ini file.

Answer 6

post_max_size should be slightly bigger than upload_max_filesize, because when uploading using HTTP POST method the text also includes headers with file size and name, etc.

If you want to successfully uppload 1GiB files, you have to set:

upload_max_filesize = 1024M
post_max_size = 1025M

Note, the correct suffix for GB is G, i.e. upload_max_filesize = 1G.

No need to set memory_limit.
