Re: Quickform maxFileSize request for change in behaviour

Hi Bertrand, It's a required hidden element for forms dealing with file uploads which > specifies the maximum uploaded file size. The php.ini value and the value > you > use in your forms can differ. Of course they can differ. After the patch they can still differ. But if you use: $form->setMaxFileSize(4194304) to set the maximum upload filesize to 4 megabytes, while in php.ini the maximum is 2MB, the maximum will effectively be 2MB, not 4MB. This means that this setting determines the final maximum upload size, not Quickform. >- The default setting Quickform chooses for maxFileSize seems quite > >arbitrary (has there been discussion about this?) > > That's true.

But if you've specified this to 10MB this isn't arbitrary anymore, but a conscious choice, whilst the value of HTML_Quickform remains arbitrary.
