upload_max_filesize or max_post_size

[pittendrigh]

If I want to control (max) upload file size
on a Suse10.2 box running php5.0.3,
in php.ini, does max_post_size matter?
Or is upload_max_file size the only relevant
directive?

Both come into play, actually.

upload_max_file size controls the maximum size of each uploaded file.

http://php.net/ini.core#ini.upload-max-filesize

post_max_size controls the maximum amount of data that can be
transferred by the post method.

http://php.net/ini.core#ini.post-max-size

As the manual for post_max_size says:
"This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this
value must be larger than upload_max_file size."
