The post_max_size isn't settable at runtime. PHP only runs after the file has been uploaded, you can't use the ini_set until the upload_max_filesize has been determined. So, you can't use ini_set to set the setting for that reason.

You will have to set this option directly from php.ini.

See the docs for more info

post_max_size is a INI directive that can be changed PHP_INI_PERDIR only, as stated in the manual.

Again, from the manual:

PHP_INI_PERDIR : Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf
