Hello, The mailing list is generally here for people working on documentation and it treats issues such as broken mirror, broken builds, etc.
But since we're already here, there are three php ini settings you are looking at in terms of file uploads. The one you mentioned, "file_uploads"[2] has in fact a boolean value and it just covers weather they are allowed or not. In terms of the max size allowed, you have two php ini directives: "post_max_size"[3] which gives you the overall size of posted data, and "upload_max_filesize"[1] which limits the maximum file size of an uploaded file. There are a couple of more settings such as the max number of uploaded files and the upload temp directory, but people generally use the defaults for that. Refferences: [1] http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize [2] http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.file-uploads [3] http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size Cheers, Stelian On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Christian Stoller <stol...@leonex.de> wrote: > Hi.**** > > I have a question about the PHP ini directive “file_uploads” (see > http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.file-uploads).
