Note Submitter: ed at example dot net ---- It appears that when uploading a file which exceeds your local upload_max_filesize and post_max_size that the $_REQUEST array is entirely empty. So session handling (passing SID as a hidden in the form) fails. Here's an illustration: <html> <body> <form action="test.html" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="SID" value="XXX" <input type="file" name="test"> <input type="submit"> </form> </html> <?php print_r( $_REQUEST ); ?> -- Upload file that is lower than your limit and you'll see the posted variables. If it is greater you'll see an empty array.
