Re: File Uploads!

Hi, In case someone is interested I found the workaround. 1. IE6 does not take into consideration MAX_FILE_SIZE, so one can not rely on it on client side. 2. If the uploaded file exceeds the post_max_size, the PHP engine (4.3.1 in my case) does not give you any error in the PHP script which handles the upload, nor does it take into consideration MAX_FILE_SIZE. It simply logs the error as shown and does not even parse the post data anymore. So, the workaround is to make the post_max_size large enough so that it fits, like 100MB and the PHP will take into consideration the MAX_FILE_SIZE, discard the upload and give you the $_FILES['userfile']['error'] = UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE I for one consider this a flaw in the engine.
