Help me with uploading function

[webqueen79]

I am having a very weird issue with uploading images. Here is my problem:

Here is my form:

<form name='frmThis' action='contacts_edit.php' method='post' onsubmit="return SubmitForm();" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="62914560">

<input name="image_filename" type="file" id="image_filename" class="inputtext">

<input type="submit" value="submit" class='button'>
</form>

My php.ini file has the max_file_size set to 2M which is too small. Even though I have set the max_file_size in the form, I still get an error when I try to upload an image. What am I doing wrong?

Setting the value in the form doesn't change your php.ini file (obviously), so PHP will be looking at two separate max sizes and will simply take the smaller limit.

Thus, you need to change the max file size directive in PHP (which is in no way related to the hidden form value) either by editing your php.ini file or by using [man]ini_set/man.
