The <input type="hidden" ... is more than a convenience for the client. It must be before the ...type="file"... tag and after <form.. (at least with Mozilla Firebird as the client) If you have it in there and remember it is in bytes not kb and set it to a size large enough the script accepting the file will show $_FILE['name'] and it will show $_FILE['tmp_name'] having the temporary file. Then you take that hidden tag out and do the same the $_FILE['tmp_name'] variable will be empty since it did not recieve the file. So I know at least in my case that the hidden field has to be there.

I have used this well documented upload form <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="_URL_" method="POST"> Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file"> <input type="submit" value="Send File"> </form> script on many php servers. However I am on one now which is not allowing me to upload a file greater than 12kb. I know the upload_max_filesize is 2M but something else is stopping the upload and I don't have a clue what it is. I know you should include <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000"> in the above form but that is only a convenience for the user. This particular server is running php as a cgi module.
