Laravel: I cant upload videos

Question

I am trying to upload videos using Laravel. I get following error:

Warning: POST Content-Length of 17500298 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

I changed param in php.ini of my xampp local server:

upload_max_filesize

But I get the same error as shown above.

You need to fix these values inside php.ini first

upload_max_filesize = ??M
post_max_size = ??M

and then make

dd(phpinfo());

somewhere in your code and see where is that php.ini file your server uses

and if those values are applied!
