.htaccess and php upload limits

hi guys, i need to increase the possibility of my user to put into my board a larger files in the attachments ...

i found this code to do this thing (i wanna put 30 MB max size):

PHP Code:

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M 


and someone have told me that i need to put this code into the .htaccess file that you gave me withe the SEO ...

this is my .htaccess:

PHP Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.fniv\.it
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.fniv.it/board/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA] 


then i need to know if there is any trouble about this and also i need a tip where i can put that code into my file.

thanks

You can put it just at the beginning of your .htaccess

OK thanks Mert

if you have root/ssh access to your server, you're better off editing those values in php.ini

so i should put that code into the php.ini?

Those values already exits on your php.ini , if you have root access you should ediit your php.ini and change those settings to your desired values.

thanks Mert, however i spoke with my domain manager and he told me that with these huge files i can have many troubles with my board ... seems that should slow down my mysql ... can you confirm that?

If you store attachments within database , surely it causes a problem. But if you server these files within file system it shouldnt slow down mysql
