The settings will be changed if you're using ini_set() but as the
uploaded file will be accepted BEFORE your script runs, this stuff has
no effect. Same applies for post_max_size and a couple of other
settings.

Hello great PHP,
i stumble over and over on 'upload_max_filesize'
> ini_set('upload_max_filesize','8M');
> var_dump( ini_get('upload_max_filesize') );
this returns a nice string(2) "8M", but if you do
a var_dump($HTTP_POST_FILES) after uploading
a 3MB movie it returns:
> array(1) { ["ufile"]=>
> array(4) { ["name"]=> string(19) "PN.mpg"
> ["type"]=> string(10) "video/mpeg"
> ["tmp_name"]=> string(4) "none"
> ["size"]=> int(0)
> }
> }
ONLY if you change upload_max_filesize in php.ini then
will it listen to the correct size....
ini_set() function documention says...
'Returns the old value on success, FALSE on failure.'
this means that ini_set() should return FALSE if you
cannot set upload_max_filesize in your script OR that
the max-upload-size should be set to the new value and
accepted. at the moment this is very confusing because
it returns the old value. Even init_get() returns the newly
set value. In the end upload_m-fsize is as set in the ini
file.
