Try changing upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

Usually you cannot change the ini file settings on the servers.
But If you want to change the upload_max_filesize, better use the ini_set function.

Using this function you can set the php.ini files values.
e.g.

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ini_set("upload_max_filesize",1024768);
ini_set("upload_max_filesize",1024768);

The above will set the upload filesize for your website to 1 MB.

And related to your issue, please also do check for the permissions on the server for the particular folder where you will be storing your images. The permission should be everyone write, so as any user on your site can upload the images to that folder.
