PHP doesn't do anything with this variable More info @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1381364/max-file-size-in-php-whats-the-point Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-11 17:10:07] danny at tibibi dot com Description: ------------ The documentation for handling file uploads, http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php states that when declaring a hidden field named MAX_FILE_SIZE, if the file submitted is larger, then the user will not have to wait longer to be told that the file was too large. <?php if (isset($_POST['MAX_FILE_SIZE'])) { echo $_FILES['file1']['error']; } ?> <html> <body> <form action="/test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100" /> <input type="file" name="file1"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> Actual result: -------------- The complete file gets uploaded however big it is, and the result shows: 2 This confirms that MAX_FILE_SIZE worked, and the file was too large, but it did not stop processing the request after 100 bytes were processed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62536&edit=1
