Hello all,

A php file upload script that used to work for me is no longer. The uploads generate a PHP file error of “1”, which mean “The uploaded file exceeds the upload\_max\_filesize directive in php.ini”, according to the PHP docs.

The problem is that the “upload\_max\_filesize” option in my php.ini is bigger than the files I am attempting to upload.

Any idea what else could cause the error, other than the files being too big?

Thanks for any help!  
Matt.
