I have created simple html form to upload file in server. After that I have uploaded my page at shared Server. But they have set max_file_uploads and post_max_size to 16MB and they don't allow to change it due to security. I want to upload minimum 500MB to 1GB files.
I tried

PHP

ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '1024M');
    ini_set('post_max_size', '1024M');

But it don't work.
After I have tried .htaccess but it also doesn't work.
I have explored some Flash and Java Applet. but I can't use it.
I have read some articles to split large files in chunk but I can't find any working solutions.
Please someone help me to upload large files without changing php.ini file.

upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are php.ini directives of PHP_INI_PERDIR mode which can only be set in php.ini, .htaccess, httpd.conf.
Try create a .htaccess in your web folder with the following entries:

php_value upload_max_filesize 1024M
php_value post_max_size 1024M

then, launch a php page with the following code to check the changed settings:

echo ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
