Heya!

I have some trouble to upload files in PHP with more than 2mb…

I had changed in php.ini the

```php
upload_max_filesize = 8M

```

and had also tryied in bytes format:

```php
upload_max_filesize = 8388608

```

but still not working with big files…

also changed this with bigger values

```php
post_max_size 

max_execution_time 

```

but no way…

PHP version is 4.2.2  
OS is Red Hat linux 8.0  
Apache 2

thks for any help!! 🙂
