In php.ini for setting the upload_max_filesize one can use abbrevations for certain amounts of bytes (e.g. M for 'Megabytes'). The line

upload_max_filesize = 15M

means 15 * 1024 * 1024 Bytes are allowed.

When using the

php_value upload_max_filesize 15M

directive in apache httpd.conf the 'M' modifyer is *NOT* used, leading to actually setting the max. file size for uploads to only 15 Bytes, not 15 MB.
One has to use 15728640 (i.e. 15 * 1024^2) to set the value to 15 MB.

The same applies to the php function ini_set(). It looks like the onmodify entry is being not found/called from zend_alter_ini_entry and it's using the 'estrndup/value=duplicate' instead

This is the intended behavior.  The special notations that are supported in php.ini are features of the php.ini parser, and thus, are not available in other configuration options, such as ini_set() or httpd.conf.
