Not sure - where are you seeing this error? You can set a max upload in the
php.ini file (which IIRC can be overridden in the apache config locally).
There is also a limit set by apache.

Re: PHP Error?

I have a number of locations on the screen where I select images for
different parts of the website. When I am done selecting, I click on
the 'Add/Update' button in the form and I get this error.

I'll look at this php.ini file........not sure what I am looking for,
but let's see.......

Re: PHP Error?

Does PHP get 'loaded'? I changed the max upload size in the php.ini
file to 24 megs.......and it still fails.

Do I need to reload php?

You should stop and restart your web server. Presuming that (on RH) this
is Apache you should also be aware that Apache itself may also
independently set a restriction on maximum upload file size (and the error
message you quoted look more like an Apache one than a PHP one).

I think you need some new IT or webadmin guys! :) It will be very
difficult IMHO to diagnose this over a newsgroup. But, what was written
to the error log. This should have many more clues than a cryptic error
message.

How are you gathering the info for the requests? Is it being passed by
a GET by any chance? If so, I thought there was a physical limit to
how many characters you can pass via a URL <?>.

At your php.ini in your webserver there is a directive like
post_max_size = 16M

Maybe you must change this value to a higher value.

STD66 - the RFC which, among other things, defines the generic URI
syntax - doesn't impose a limit on URL length. But there could be
scheme-specific limits, practical limitations, and even private
policies that foist their own restrictions on those working under them.
