PHP runtime memory limit - increase runtime

[simonsays]

Hello,

I am using shared VPS and have access to htaccess. I increased filesize limit to

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M

However, I bump into running out of memory error when uploading really large file.

I am really not excited about increasing memory limit in the .htaccess settings, I'd rather make it conditional and increase it (or use -1) runtime, when admin uploads something.

What would be the best way/place to do it?

wire()->addHookBefore('InputfieldFile::processInputAddFile', function($event) {
    print 1;exit;
});

Tried to add hook to site/ready.php, but it is not working...

wrong file

upload_max_filesize & post_max_size have nothing to do with memory_limit!

try: php_value memory_limit 256M  // or 512M

Also, post_max_size has to be 20 or 30 percent greater then upload_max_filesize!
