An INPUT HTML Element is a FORM element. MAX_FILE_SIZE is often used 
as shown:
 <input type="hidden" name="max_file_size" value="500" />
 <input type="file" />

May be worth a quick check. Max file size IIUC is set in KB; thus a 
value of 500 = 500kb.

Add this code in ".htaccess":

php_value upload_max_filesize 8M
php_value post_max_size 8M
php_value max_execution_time 100
php_value max_input_time 100

You can increase the file upload limit according to your requirement.
