All those you mention are configuration files. In configuration files you simply cannot run PHP code because they are not scripts. You have to use the corresponding syntax (just check other directives on the same file). Typically:

  • php.ini, .user.ini → post_max_size = "200M"
  • .htaccess, httpd.conf → php_value post_max_size 200MB
