As I recall, the upload_max_filesize was an "oddball" in that you
could never INCREASE it at any stage, but could only DECREASE it in
the following order:
php.ini
httpd.conf
.htaccess
That funky INPUT in the FORM that browsers ignore, but PHP uses.
So if your shared webhost set the limit to 2M in php.ini or
httpd.conf, and you only have .htaccess, you cannot crank up your
limit and over-ride your webhost quota/limit/cap.
At least, that was how it seemed to behave when I tested it rather
extensively back in PHP3.x days...
Hmmm, as I look at my list, I wonder if httpd.conf wouldn't kick in
before php.ini... Or maybe they "tie" and one can override the other
in httpd.conf at various nesting levels such as Directory and
VirtualHost. You're on your own for that level of detail in this
matter.
