I think the best thing for you is to check out a video tutorial like: [this video] There are so many things wrong with this code. 1) hardcoded links 2) `mysql_*` instead of `mysqli_*` or `PDO` 3) using `if($field == '')` instead of `if(empty($field))` 4) using `isset($_SESSION[])` instead of `!empty($_SESSION)` (`empty()` does the same as `isset()` but also checks if it is empty or not). To come to your question like @Mihai said look in the php.ini for max upload sizes there are a couple of them that needs to be changed
