Changing max post/upload size in Laravel 5.5

I want to upload a video file, about 10MB. I tried to override php's default upload sizes by setting these in AppServiceProvider boot function:

    ini_set("memory_limit", "100M");
    ini_set('post_max_size', '50M');
    ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '50M');

However these don't seem to help because I get the same error as before:

Warning: POST Content-Length of 8982677 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

How can I achieve this in Laravel?

Do you use Forge to serve your site? If so, I had a similar problem a while back which was answered by Nash. This is the thread :

I found out here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/949415/overriding-upload-max-filesize that ini_set() will not change anything in the php.ini file. I changed the values in .htaccess and it worked, but only on localhost. If I push the edited .htaccess on production, it gives

500 Internal server error.
