There are specific scenarios when you may be asked to change your PHP configuration. Specifically, you may be directed to edit a file on your server called php.ini and to increase the post_max_size limit.

post_max_size is a setting managed through the PHP Options, which sets the maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept. This value should be the same as the upload_max_filesize.
