uploading files error

router

Hello!
I have a problem uploading files. In my page.php you can upload files, and it sometimes doesn't work, and it returns the error 2, "error max files size"..But i have check that the size of the file, when it doesn't work was less than maxsize. For example:
Size file: 20 Kb
Maxsize (written in form html) : 500Kb
Max in php.ini: 2MB(2000 Kb)
I was thinking that the size of form + size of file > Maxfile, but it isn't true....
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

If you specify in you form the maxfile size is 500kb then its 500kb on the other end.

You cant get the 2mb + 500kb it doesnt work that way.

A reason for the errros, could actually be the maxfilesize in the form. Not all the time this gives the most accurate results, and i dont actually suggest using it. You should actually use the $_FILES or $HTTP_FILES_VARS

Hello, thanks for your explication, but i tyhink that you haven't understood me...I Use $FILES and it resturn in $FILES[user][error] = 2, so it means that the max has been exceded. I know that the max = 2MB i can't upload a file > 2MB. My problem is that i upload a file 20K and i specify maxfile in the html source in 500K, so it would work, because it's minor than the maxsize.
Do you understand me?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!!

Just out of intetrest how have you specified the max size to be 500k in you html form ?

Are you putting

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value='2097152'>

or similar?

don't forget that you need to use the number of bytes

so 1024 = 1K
