How to update php.ini on a digitalocean app

Hi @sergiowilliomes I had the same issue with my app, so I modified the user.ini file in my project root by adding upload_max_filesize=40M and post_max_size=100M. You can also add this to your .htaccess file and create a user.ini file in the public folder if you’re using Laravel. After deploying your code and restarting the server, check if it works. This solution worked for me.

I had facing this issue for quite sometimes for my Laravel’s app that deployed using Digital Ocean App Platform. Based on many suggestion I found, creating .user.ini in my public directory is the only way possible. Inside it, I amend the directives values accordingly.

For instance this is the values I used:

upload_max_filesize=5M
max_input_time=90
max_execution_time=90

Other than these values, there are few others such as file_uploads, upload_tmp_dir, post_max_size, and memory_limit. I found these related directives to achieve larger file upload is from this article: 3.2. PHP Directives Related to (Large) File Upload

Hope this answer complements other answers and confirming the solution that works on this time.
