Doc #70501 [NEW]: MAX_FILE_SIZE docs incorrect

From: olafvdspek at gmail dot com Operating system: * PHP version: 5.6.13 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:MAX_FILE_SIZE docs incorrect Description: ------------ > This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too large and the transfer failed. As far as I know this bit is incorrect. It does NOT avoid a too-large file from being uploaded as the value is only checked AFTER the file was uploaded completely. http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php IMO MAX_FILE_SIZE is useless and should be dropped entirely.
