how to increase adminer import file limit

🤔

You will need to edit the upload_max_filesize in the php.ini configuration file if you use the Browse... button to actually upload a sql file larger than 2MB.

Thanks to @Roy-Orbison, this plugin replaces the adminer.sql[.gz] with a drop-down menu to select a sql file found in a folder.
I really didn't like how without this plugin, all the databases would need to be in a single file to be imported.
