Is it possible to use the ini_set() function with upload_max_filesize setting in the settings.php file? or do I have to use an .htaccess file? or chat with my host?

Example: default/settings.php
ini_set(upload_max_filesize,'250MB'); // Is this possible?

Check out this list:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php

'upload_max_filesize' and 'post_max_size'(!) are of type PHP_INI_PERDIR, which means "Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf". So you can't set it in your script.

or do I have to use an .htaccess file?

You might be able to, if the server admin hasn't disabled this feature. Try.

Tip: do phpinfo() to find out what settings are in effect. I.e. which settings were set successfully.

See the table here : http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php

upload_max_filesize is PHP_INI_PERDIR (entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf) : it is not possible to change this value with ini_set().

You can only use the ini_set() function when the "CHANGEABLE" value in the table is PHP_INI_USER or PHP_INI_ALL.

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '50M'); has become impossible since PHP > 4.2.3.

upload_max_filesize "2M" PHP_INI_PERDIR PHP_INI_ALL in PHP <= 4.2.3.

see http://php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php and http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.modes.php
