 * I saw a link on how to increase the max file-size however I can’t find my php.
   ini
 * Then I read that there are premium accounts, but when I build sites, I just download
   wordpress 2.8 from the home page, is there a link to premium wordpress?

 * php.ini is not in wordpress, it’s in your server software. If you are on a shared
   host, then you will need to contact them for directions on how to change the 
   max upload size…some will allow you to use a local php.ini on your account.

 * alrighty, so I asked my hosting company since it is a shared host, they’re saying
   to create a local .htaccess file….
 * So what should I have in there?

 * If it doesn’t work, then ask your host what to put in it.

 * Hi,
 * You can also do it for your domain from your end..YOu can either do it from wp-
   config.php or .htaccess file of your domain. Here is the code for that:
 * For wp-config.php:
    define(’WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘64M’);
 * For .htaccess:
    php_value memory_limit 64M
 * Thanks,

 * Hi,
 * [@figaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/figaro/) – yes increase memory 
   limit as as well upload limit with this:
 * php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
 * but this code does not go through in my last post..hence, I have provided it 
   here
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * Is this PHP INI code?
 * php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
 * I have not seen php_value before.
