You are right. file_uploads is a boolean and has nothing to do with the allowed max upload size. The misleading paragraph was accidentally introduced when trying to unify how PHP parses "mb", "kb", "b" and whatelse as part of ini values (9 years ago!). See http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=165348 That entity should be removed from file_upload, along with the later commit to add "or integer" :] -Hannes
