Bug description:Re-open #50684
Description:
------------
Issue #50684 ("max_file_uploads can't be changed from .htaccess (or
ini_set)")
is currently "closed", but was not satisfactorily resolved.
"j...@php.net" did not provide a legitimate reason why the
"max_file_uploads"
setting should not be override-able at the apache or .htaccess level.
Since PHP allows other settings like "memory_limit", "max_execution_time",
and
the like to be overridden, it does not make intuitive sense for the
"max_file_uploads" setting to be left out.
Until this is fixed, we are running with this setting disabled. Meanwhile,
other
developers who have encountered this "feature" of PHP 5.2.12 and later have
had
to resort to ugly, non-standard JavaScript hacks to get around the inherent
problems with the approach of this setting.
See:
http://allinthehead.com/retro/349/the-curse-of-max_file_uploads
I would dearly like to see this setting not go the way of the ill-fated
"safe_mode" setting, where it's implemented but no one can use it because
it
isn't useful to anyone in particular.
