Hey @sergiowilliomes ,
The easiest way to edit the php.ini settings is to add a .user.ini file to your codebase with the following lines in it. These lines will set the values for post_max_size and upload_max_filesize explicitly:
post_max_size=20M
upload_max_filesize=5M
Alternatively, you could update your run command to be prefixed with the below command:
echo 'post_max_size=20M' >> .user.ini && echo 'upload_max_filesize=5M' >> .user.ini && heroku-php-apache2

Hello, To find out where the php.ini file is located, use the following command:
- php -i | grep php.ini
In the end, we’ll have:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php/7.2/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini
Run the file and adjust the default settings to the size of the largest file you want to upload. By default it is set to :
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
You can change the following lines above to:
post_max_size = 30M
upload_max_filesize = 30M
Don’t forget to restart after saving:
- service php7.0-fpm restart
Replace with your appropriate PHP version
I tried .user.ini I also tried to in .htaccess files
php_value memory_limit 30M php_value post_max_size 100M php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
Also didn’t work.
