I do not know if it's still true, but at one time, if the upload_max_filesize had already been set in httpd.conf/php.ini, the .htaccess did not actually over-ride it, unless it was lower. IOW, the actual max size was the MINIMUM of htppd.conf/php.ini (the webhost) .htaccess (the application developer) and whatever was in that special value in the FORM (the web designer) This may have been a bug. It may have been a feature. It may no longer be true. My memory could be completely wrong, too :-) But, for sure, ini_set ain't gonna work as it's MUCH too late in the game for a file upload change. Also, I don't think '20M' will work in httpd.conf, as I don't think Apache considers '20M' to be a valid numeric value... You may need to use 20000000 to get aproximately 20 Meg. You're on your own for whom to believe about what is the correct number to get exactly 20 Meg. :-) To solve the original problem, your safest bet is probably a different setting inside the VirtualHost of the httpd.conf -- I'm pretty sure that will follow the "rules" of VirtualHost inheritence and give your special customers that extra leeway. If all else fails, just crank up the number for everybody. It probably will make a lot of customers happy, and not hurt anybody very much. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
