I put [ instead of < ... you need to change that

[FilesMatch "\.(php)$"]
php_value post_max_size “40M”
php_value upload_max_filesize “40M”
[/FilesMatch]

it seems the tags were escaped:D
i put spaces after the < sign (hope it works now )

php_value post_max_size “40M”
php_value upload_max_filesize “40M”

and for one file

Recently I had a clienti with a wordpress blog that wanted to upload some large videos.
The problem was that I have a virtual private served with many more clients and I didn’t want to give a universal post_max_size. So a good alternative that I found was using .htaccess.
So I put a .htaccess file in the admin folder and gave post_max_size acces only to those scripts:

php_value post_max_size “40M”
php_value upload_max_filesize “40M”

or you can use: to set that right just for one file.

Hope this helps some one!

@Erik Yep, that’s another way. But if the backup is compressed to gz or Bz2 and compared to the time ssh’ing, I don’t see much difference.

While phpmyadmin is a handy tool, when working with large datasets i often find it much easier/faster to import them locally, by ssh’ing to the server, scp’ing the sql file over and doing a “mysql –user=user -password database_name < mysql_file”
