[SOLVED] file uploads

[ober]

Ok... so I'm working on my own CMS and I'm trying to upload various file types.  The default for uploads is set to 2M, but I've talked to my host and they said as long as I put a copy of the php.ini file in the directory I'm working with, the settings should be localized.

So I got the right copy of php.ini and put it in the directory with the necessary changes.  After doing that, I have these settings:
http://www.whproductions.com/admin/sources/media/iniget.php

ini file: http://www.whproductions.com/admin/sources/media/php.ini

For some reason, memory limit won't read anything even though the setting is there.

I can upload files less than 2M, but anything over that reports back as having zero for the filesize and my script kicks it out as invalid.

I have this in the form:
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="999000000" />

But it still doesn't seem to make a difference no matter how big I make that number.

Can someone help me out here?  Why can't I upload files bigger than 2M when the settings all seem to be correct?

Is the copy of php.ini really taking effect? If you change another setting, say, the short_open_tag, does it work?

Yes, the settings are taking effect.  I just disabled short tags and updated that file.  It printed out the PHP instead of processing it.

Nevermind... ended up being the placement of the file, plus I didn't have to include all the settings... just the ones I wanted to change.
