PHP upload_max_filesize problem

[hannu]

Hello all good PHP people

I have a really frustrating problem with php5.1.2+apache2 on OpenSuse 10.1
(X86-64) environment.

Though I set the upload_max_filesize setting in php.ini file to any setting,
it sticks with 2M.

I have changed it both into larger (which is my ultimate goal) and smaller
without any effect what so ever.

And yes, I have restarted apache2 after the changes. Heck, I even booted the
computer once, though I knew it wouldn't help.

I have checked the php.conf against LimitRequestBody directive - though even
that would allow me to set the limit lower, wouldn't it?

I have also checked post_max_size, and I can even change it. Only the
subject setting and upload_tmp_dir and uploads seem to be unaffected, though
I can't be 100% sure about that as I haven't checked them ALL. But the point
is that MOSTLY php.ini obeys my changes, the only problem so far seems to be
connected with file upload.

As I am starting to feel deperssed I hope someone could throw some light
into this.

My phpinfo() is available at:

http://appserver.padasjoenlentokerho.fi/index.php

I have been running Linux & PHP for maybe 5 years and even done this very
task on various computers, so I'm really perplexed.

HHHEEEELLPPP! ;)

regards

You have multiple ini files loaded, so check all of them.

grep upload_max_filesize /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /etc/php5/conf.d/*

Also check for any php_value statements in any config file loaded by Apache -
see if it's including any other config files in addition to httpd.conf.

And do you have an .htaccess file in the same directory as index.php? Check
that too.

Additonally, it isn't clear if parameters such as post_max_size can be
overridden using ini_set() from an individual PHP script. It may very well
be (possibly, if I haven't missed something) that some or all of your PHP
scripts override important settings in the .INI file(s).

No other values encountered..

None found

And do you have an .htaccess file in the same directory as index.php?

Check

that too.

Nope

Thank you for your pointers, but none mached my problem. Any others? ;)

The index.php contains ONLY

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

So this seems no to be the problem....

It's really strange, but I got it working now.

It worked just like it should but only when I moved the upload_max_filesize
to almost the top of the file.

It's just like there's a branch which was never traversed on the place it
used to be (I changed it over the commented example on the ini-file), though
I don't get it how's that possible.

Well, I'll dig into it later, but for now on I am just plain happy ;)

Thank you and sorry for the time you devoted to this problem...

Best regards

And to shoot down the obvious to begin with - yes, the semi-colon was ripped
off from the line also before moving the directive line ;)
