#### Where can you find phpinfo() ? 

1. Log in to <https://my.servetheworld.net/>
2. Click on **Products**
3. Click on **My Products**
4. Click on **Manage** next to the relevant web hosting
5. Click on **Advanced Settings** 6. Find and click on the relevant domain name
6. Click on **PHP Settings**
7. Click on **View the phpinfo() page** to display details about the PHP environment for your website

#### Custom PHP environment (php.ini)

You can change certain PHP settings exclusively for your website. This involves publishing a file named **.user.ini** in the web folder of your domain name, e.g., via FTP.

In the example below, we show how to increase the upload limit in PHP for your website.

1\) Open a text program, e.g., Notepad, on your computer.
2\) Enter the following or copy/paste:

```
upload_max_filesize = 128M;
post_max_size = 128M;
```

The values above set a custom upload limit of 128 MB; set another desired size if needed. A list of php.ini directives is available at <http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php>

3\) Save the file on your computer (note both periods in the filename):

```
.user.ini
```

4\) Upload the file via FTP into the relevant domain folder.

5\) Verify the changes by checking phpinfo(), see [Where can you find phpinfo() ?](#phpinfo)
