Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try ini_set although I'm not yet certain of how to use it. It still seems odd that I can't simply set upload_max_filesize to whatever value I want.
I checked again and post_max_size is not in my php.ini, but perhaps I should just add it. Also, I was wrong before - I do have a directive for memory_limit. It is 8M Regardless, this doesn't explain why I can't upload a file that exceeds 2M, except that I don't seem to be able to reset upload_max_filesize to greater than 2M. If you have any other thoughts, they are much appreciated.

I ususally leave these things up to our sysop ;) Checking back to when I was coding for file uploading, I see that there were 4 settings to ensure were 'high enough' max_execution_time memory_limit post_max_size upload_max_filesize I *think* that ini_set may be used to change these settings, but I could be wrong.
