OK, but the documentation does not explain how this fairly common
condition (an uploaded file > post_max_size) can be trapped.

The behavior is correct as POST data is received before the request is
run, but upload_max_filesize is checked later.

Description:
------------
I'm not sure if this is a documentation omission and/or a PHP bug:
I want to limit the size of files that can be uploaded to 8MB. I have
set upload_max_filesize to 8MB and post_max_size to 10MB. memory_limit
is not enabled.
When I upload a 9MB file, then $_FILES['myfile']['error'] is 1, as
documented. When I upload a 14MB file, PHP writes nothing to stdout and
writes the following to syslog:
PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 14171720 bytes exceeds the limit
of 10485760 bytes in Unknown on line 0
The documentation doesn't say how PHP reacts when it uploads a file
larger than post_max_size, but I would assume that it should not "give
up," which is the behavior I'm experiencing.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
<body>
<?php
if ( $_POST['but_submit'] ) {
printf("Got the submit!! error (%d) size (%d)",
$_FILES['the_file']['error'],
$_FILES['the_file']['size']);
}
?>
<form method="post" action="fileupload.php"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table class="form" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>File</td>
<td>
<input type="file" name="the_file" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="but_submit" value="Submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Expected result:
----------------
Unknown, since the documentation doesn't describe how PHP responds when
the size of the uploaded file is greater than post_max_size.
Actual result:
--------------
A PHP warning written to syslog, and nothing written to stdout. See
description above.
