Best way to find out is to go through the whole php.ini file. Have the manual handy so you can refer to what settings does what. > Also is there a limit on the file size I can upload?? I noticed that > there is also a limit in the php.ini file on the amount of data > "post" can handle.. is this a concern?? Probably, if you find that you're still hitting a limit then increase "post_max_size" as well. Also for older versions of php file uploads are stored in memory and are not written to disk until the whole file has been transferred. Thus you may find that you need to increase "memory_limit" as well. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* "There...
