+     <para>
+      A few PHP directives may also take on shorthand byte values, as opposed
+      to only <type>integer</type> byte values.  What are all the available
+      shorthand byte options?  And can I use these outside of &php.ini;?
+     </para>
+    </question>
+    <answer>
+     <para>
+      The available options are K (for kilobytes) and M (for megabytes), these
+      are case insensitive.  Anything else assumes bytes.  For example the
+      default value of <link linkend="ini.post-max-size">post_max_size</link>
+      is <literal>8M</literal> which stands for 8 Megabytes or 
+      <literal>8388608</literal> bytes.  You may not use these shorthand
+      notations outside of &php.ini;, instead use an <type>integer</type> 
+      value of bytes.  See the <function>ini_get</function> documentation for
+      an example on how to convert these values.
