Understanding Common PHP Limits in cPanel Print

Common PHP directives influence how much data and processing time a PHP request can use.

• memory_limit limits memory available to a PHP request.
• upload_max_filesize limits an individual PHP file upload.
• post_max_size limits the overall size of POST request data and generally needs to be at least as large as the intended upload.
• max_execution_time limits script execution time in configurations where the directive applies.

Raising limits does not fix inefficient code and may increase resource usage. Adjust only what the application needs and remain within any server-level limits that the account cannot override.
