Does PHP impose upload size limits?

[walterbyrd]

If so, why?

My webhoster, dreamhost, just informed me that my php apps can not
upload files over 7mb, because of a PHP limitation.

I don't know a lot about it, but I thought those limits were imposed
by the web-hoster, not the language.

I also thought those limits could be overwriten by editing the php.ini
or .htaccess files.

PHP can set a limit, which can be changed in the php.ini file. IIRC,
the webserver can also impose a limit.

But there is no inherent limitation in PHP to 7M or any other size.
