First thing you need to do is find the location of your php.ini file. I typically create a document with the function phpinfo (); and load it up in the browser. This will tell you the location of the php.ini file. From there you need to use your favorite command line editor to open the php.ini file. I prefer to use VI, so I will give you instructions for that. (I will list the actual keystrokes you need to press to open/save the file. E.g. <Enter> would be pressing the enter key and / would be pressing the / key.)
1. vi /location/to/php.ini 2. /upload_max_filesize<Enter> 3. Arrow keys to the the position where the 2 (or whatever number it is) is. 4. x 5. i 6. 99999999999999 (or what ever value you want) 7.<Esc>:wq<Enter> (Escape, colon, w, q, Enter)
From there you will want to reload apache or whatever webserver you are using.
