maximum file size for uploading

Is there a way to increase the size of a file that can be uploaded. I am trying to create a site where admin can upload videos to be viewed on the front-end by users. At the moment I am using the standalone file manager but when I try to upload a video file to the file manager nothing happens so i am guessing the file size is too big.

the maximum file size that can be uploaded by a php script is controlled by a few settings on the php server in the php.ini file.

to increase the maximum allowed file size, you will need to modify those settings.

see the following page for details on the php.ini settings that effect large file uploads:
wap_upload.asp?page=php2

you will need to contact your host for assistance on making this type of server level change.
