Once upon a time I'm facing this problem with my WAMP server, and when I search for solution, I stumbled upon to this discussion. So, if someone have the same problem, this is my working solution, I hope this help:

1. I'm using WAMP stack. By reading your comment above, you are using WAMP stack too. In case you don't know, WAMP server has 2 (two) php.ini (in PHP directory and Apache directory) configuration, one for CLI and the other for Apache itself ( see php.ini on WAMP server ). So, I create info.php to detect which php.ini use by my server, and in my case that is the one in Apache directory ( see Which PHP Ini file does my WAMP webpage uses?).

2. Open your php.ini that used by your server, and as @Pascal Martin suggested, change upload_max_filesizeand also set post_max_size then restart your server.

3. Check again your info.php, make sure the value of upload_max_filesize and post_max_size has changed to your desired value.

4. Restart Apache.

It's worked for me, hope this help.
