WAMP – Increase Size of import File in phpmyadmin

Every now and then, while working with project which involve integrating/ connecting with a database, we try to import and export databases.

And sometimes, using phpmyadmin, you may get this error message

file size exceeded the maximum size permitted by your PHP configuration

or something like that!

So, try these steps so solve the problem:

Access your php.ini file from [directory where wamp is installed]\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\php.ini

Usually, it’s C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\php.ini

Find these:
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 8M

and

Change to:
post_max_size = 750M
upload_max_filesize = 750M
max_execution_time = 5000
max_input_time = 5000
memory_limit = 1000M

Then restart wamp to take effect

Have fun 😉
