This was fixed in main.c by sniper, see 1.442 here:
  http://bonsai.php.net/cvslog.cgi?file=/php4/main/main.c

Changed: PHP_INI_ALL -> PHP_INI_SYSTEM

Changing this from bogus to closed. The ini_set() docs are being
worked on and more main.c changes may be on the way ;)

So then the sources should be corrected. Goba

On a related note, the ini_set() configuration options table is
autogenerated from the PHP source. Sometimes they are generated
"wrongly" as the PHP source (main.c) lists questionable values. For
example, magic_quotes_gpc shows PHP_INI_ALL when in the real-world this
isn't the case.

The settings will be changed if you're using ini_set() but as the
uploaded file will be accepted BEFORE your script runs, this stuff has
no effect. Same applies for post_max_size and a couple of other
settings.

Hello great PHP,

i stumble over and over on 'upload_max_filesize'
> ini_set('upload_max_filesize','8M');
> var_dump( ini_get('upload_max_filesize') );

this returns a nice string(2) "8M", but if you do
a var_dump($HTTP_POST_FILES) after uploading
a 3MB movie it returns:

> array(1) { ["ufile"]=>
> array(4) { ["name"]=> string(19) "PN.mpg"
> ["type"]=> string(10) "video/mpeg"
> ["tmp_name"]=> string(4) "none"
> ["size"]=> int(0)
> }
> }

ONLY if you change upload_max_filesize in php.ini then
will it listen to the correct size....

ini_set() function documention says...
'Returns the old value on success, FALSE on failure.'

this means that ini_set() should return FALSE if you
cannot set upload_max_filesize in your script OR that
the max-upload-size should be set to the new value and
accepted. at the moment this is very confusing because
it returns the old value. Even init_get() returns the newly
set value. In the end upload_m-fsize is as set in the ini
file.
