You can add those lines to your php.ini file with these commands ran as root:

   echo "uploadmaxfilesize = 50M" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
   echo "postmaxsize = 50M" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
   echo "maxinputtime = 300" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
   echo "maxexecutiontime = 300" >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

      Check the end of the php.ini file and you will see the new values.

      Here is no error in the image you posted, from where you are currently type end then type 50M then type CTRL+x then y then enter and your file will be modified and saved, open it again to check.

      Hint: If you are logged in as root no need for sudo, to check if you are logged in as root the output of this command echo $EUID will be zero.

Just a question, are you using the numeric keypad or the numbers above the alpha keys?
Try using the numbers instead of the numeric keypad - I've seen problems where there is a mixup between PuTTY and the console with some keyboards, so using numeric keypad results in nothing (even when it's activated, and NumLock is activated right?).
