You mean (1024KB x 18), right?

If your version of PHP was compiled as a CGI module, and not an Apache module (most likely), then you can't change your settings from a .htaccess file. Your host must allow you to have your own php.ini file. If you have PHP 5.2 or higher, place the following line in a file and name it php.ini.

upload_max_filesize = 100M
post_max_size = 100M

Also, you may be able to use the ini_set() function to change the values at runtime. See this page for more information.

you need to speak with your server host first. Find out what the maximum they allow per file is.

is it dedicated/shared?

this 18.47MB you mention, is this by any chance a recording of the bandwidth data transfer?
as data storage is 1024KB=1MB
whereas bandwidth is 1000KB=1MB

which would mean you actually have a limit of 18MB on hard disk and 18.47 would be 'about' correct for bandwidth (1024MB x 18)

I think master setting does not come into effect if you have overwritten local settings.
The reason I am saying this is that my server only allowed me to upload 2MB and I have overwritten it by placing php.ini in my folder with max limit to 50MB.
Now for some reason I can also only upload upto 18MB. I cannot upload anything above 18MB.
May be after 18MB there is someother configuration variable that come into play which we are not aware of yet.

heeheh I see. but on the other hand.. it lets me upload files to up to 18 mb.. so that's odd

The master upload_max_filesize is 2M (the right column). Since you created the htaccess file, it set the local max_upload_filezie to 100M. You can't override the master PHP settings without root access.

*I think that's right*

Hi Teammatt3

it's set to

upload_max_filesize 100M 2M

and my uploads stop at 18.47mb exactly.

weird

I don't know for sure, but I'm betting that your host is preventing you from uploading something that big from a PHP form. Write

<?php
 phpinfo(); 
?>

on a test page and see what upload_max_filesize is. I don't think you can make it greater than what the PHP on the server is config'd to. The .htaccess would be used to make it smaller than what PHP is set to. I think.
