To change the limit, you need to update the php.ini file and restart apache/iis.

As for the validation, there are many php file upload validation results on google

For the record, I would NOT handle a file 1.5 GB in size through HTTP. Use a protocol designed for it, like FTP.

Are you on a dedicated server or a shared host? If you have a dedicated server, you php.ini will be located in the apache2 conf folder. If you are on a shared server, you can’t edit it. Most shared hosts do not permit you to change those settings.

I am just working in my P.C localhost…so if it is in apache2 conf folder what’s next thing to do?.Thank you in advance.

Well working locally, it may or may not be in the apache2 conf folder, it may be in your php installation folder. You are looking for the php.ini file, then you want to open it and look for max_upload_size
