Then you have not edited it correct. Did you restart apache after the change?

What was the full path to the php.ini you've edited, and is that the same as reported in the php_info page in your ACP?

i got in contact with my host i wanted my up size to 150M,and this is what they had to say"""

Hello,

Unfortunately allowing uploads of that size through php can cause the server's load to increase significantly.

so what ive done is created a new folder and FTP larger files to that so hopefully it should work for me,bit of a pain as i would have liked to allow members to be able to upload as well :ermm:

If you're on a shared host, a maximum upload size of 150M is unreasonable.

Either get a dedicated server, split the files or host them externally.
