bmp upload help

[the1bullet]

Hi:

I'm working on an image gallery site and I'm having a bit of a problem. My upload script works fine for all files except bmp files. The problem seems to be that the server is misreading the filesize of bmp files and saying they exceed my max_file_size (5meg). I get the following in my error log:

[client 65.30.215.225] PHP Warning: MAX_FILE_SIZE of 500000 bytes exceeded - file [image=barcode.bmp] not saved in Unknown on line 0

However, this file is well below 1 meg. When I try a much smaller BMP, I am able to proceed correctly. So it seems like the server is artificially inflating the filesize for bmp files. I am running PHP 4.3.10 on Fedora Core 2. Is anybody familiar with this issue and does anybody have ideas of how I could fix it?

Thanks,

Bob

Please disregard. I just realized I had a hidden input tag setting my max_file_size to the wrong order of magnitude (500,000 instead of 5,000,000). I've simply removed the hidden input field as it doesn't really do anything with any real-world browsers.
