But if you don't include it then your browser would allow you to upload any size of file. However, the point is that a number of people seem to be implying that uploads only worked for them *after* they've added that MAX_FILE_SIZE thing. But there isn't any concrete evidence to show that the lack of the MAX_FILE_SIZE thing does have any effect on whether or not one can upload. If you have spare time on your hands go through the archives for problems related to file uploads, invariably someone would suggest adding MAX_FILE_SIZE. To me, I think it's a load of cobblers, unless someone can show me otherwise :) -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Preudhomme's Law of Window Cleaning: It's on the other side. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Ah, so in your case you're quoting an urban legend ;-) I would really like to hear of a case where an upload fails *just because of* not putting in that hidden element.
