Hi All, 

 Ok, been doing some testing in relation to the file uploads issue to help a client of mine and found the following issue. With 4.3.x the max_input_time definition in the php.ini file seems to be ignored. Regardless of what I set it to in that file, phpinfo() only shows a -1 in the field and subsequently I can not upload any files larger then about 32 Kbytes. Anything more then that and the upload completes and the file disappears. 

 Doing a quick search around the net shows that the -1 was supposed to define unlimited time??

 When I use a .htaccess file and set the value via:

  php_flag max_input_time 600

 phpinfo() shows the proper information, and that the 600 has taken affect. At this time I can upload files upto the limits set via:

 upload_max_filesize = XXM

 I have a feeling that one of two things is happening, the "unlimited" time is not being taken into account (if that is what the -1 denotes), or the value is not being used at all via the php.ini settings, but forcing it via a .htaccess file causes the value to be set properly..

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

If max_input_time == -1, then the value of max_execution_time is used in it's place.

Understood, however that does not explain why if the max_input_time is set to 600 in the php.ini file, it still is registered as a -1 on the phpinfo() page and as such does not get used... Only by creating a .htaccess file does that value seem to get registered and used...

 Ie, if I upload a file with out the .htaccess file defining the parameter, I can not upload any file larger then 32 KBytes, but using it allows me to upload a file that transfers within the 10 minute time limit..

That was the bug I was pointing out :>

That just means your php.ini file is not read.
(or you mistyped the setting)

Still not bug.

It was my understanding that the php.ini file is used when it exists, otherwise the default values are used, correct?
 [2003-04-02 11:59 UTC] sniper@php.net 
No, it won't be used if it's not in the right place.
(for one reason, there are others too.)
