Hey @sergiowilliomes ,
The easiest way to edit the php.ini settings is to add a
.user.inifile to your codebase with the following lines in it. These lines will set the values forpost_max_sizeandupload_max_filesizeexplicitly:Alternatively, you could update your run command to be prefixed with the below command:

Hello there,
PHP applications on App Platform use PHP-FPM in conjunction with Apache (or Nginx if you choose to use it)—the webserver would accept all incoming requests and forward PHP requests to PHP-FPM which actually executes them. You’ll want to increase the max upload size there. You can do that by adding a
.user.inifile at the root of your app’s document root (in the same directory where you would put an.htaccessfile. Usually this will be thepublicdirectory) with something like this:post_max_sizecontrols the maximum POST requests body size, whileupload_max_filesizecontrols the maximum allowed size of a single file in an upload request.For more info, you can refer to the Heroku PHP Buildpack documentation.
