I am getting the error below when i try to upload files in laravel 5.4

Question

POST Content-Length of 17663771 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes

i already have changed my php.ini file and restarted my wamp server but still getting the same error message.

what changes did you make in php.ini. You need to set both upload_max_filesize = 25M post_max_size = 25M — srp, Mar 22 '18 at 08:18
nginx itself also has a limit for the size of POST, a request and for files. Go ahead and check these settings. It seems your limit is `8388608 bytes` or `8 MB`, but you try to upload a file which is bigger (approx. 16,8 MB). — Tobias F., Mar 22 '18 at 08:18
Make sure you edit the correct php.ini file - not the CLI one. And restart your server afterwards — brombeer, Mar 22 '18 at 08:21

1)Make sure you are changing the correct php.ini

2) Set both parameters in php.ini

 upload_max_filesize = 25M 
 post_max_size = 25M

3) Restart the Web server (apache , nginx etc..)
