I have read that the browser function on file size is not reliable and
works only on some browsers. I think I'm having a problem understanding how
the Max_File_Size value field is functioning and what it communicates to the
server. I looked up that reserved word on php and it isn't a php function,
but apparently is a server html function... Is the error value added by a
$var definition on the php page or is it fed to the php target by the Max
File form field???
Thanks
