If you want to use file upload, you have to correctly set upload_max_size and post_max_size. That's o.k. But you also have to set memory_limit and max_execution_time to values high enough.

The former seems to be result of very poor design (I admit I haven't checked the source code closely but as far as I can tell from a quick look at main/rfc1867.c, the whole form is first read and stored in memory and only then parsed and divided into files instead of being parsed on the run).

I am not sure about the second issue since I don't know how exactly max_exec*_time works. Is it counted from the very start of request or from the moment script starts being executed? (that is -- if I set max_execution_time to 30 secs and the upload takes 55 secs, will PHP die? or will the upload finish and script will get 30secs to run?). I know I can get around this limit -- I just wonder.

This should be fixed in CVS now. You can try the latest 
snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/

Also, there are some minor leaks still in the new code.
If you encounter such leaks, please send the shortest
possible code + html with which you can reproduce the leak
to php-dev@lists.php.net (or me) so we can get rid of these leaks. 

This fix will be in PHP 4.2.0.
