the legend starts here http://www.php.net/manual/sk/features.file-upload.php
"The _URL_ should point to a PHP file. The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field must precede the file input field and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. The value is in bytes." it also notes "The MAX_FILE_SIZE is advisory to the browser. It is easy to circumvent this maximum. So don't count on it that the browser obeys your wish! The PHP-settings for maximum-size, however, cannot be fooled.

Ah, so in your case you're quoting an urban legend ;-) I would really like to hear of a case where an upload fails *just because of* not putting in that hidden element. I've asked on the list before but never got any definite responses. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. -- Booker T.
