post_max_size is the max size a "POST-file" can have ...
your values are btw: non sence ... upload_max_filesize must be higher then post_max_size ...
and both values are to high ...

what about memory_limit? memory_limit have to be bigger then post_max_size

btw. 10 or 20 MB are more then high enough ...

take a look to my phpinfo() ---> http://www.siemens-mobiles.org/php.php
i'm able to attach up to 30MB (the max filesize i've tried)

[mediman]

okay, seems to me as memory_limit is not a problem on your server, that means you can up to 55 mb upload, coz post_max_size affected the upload_max_filesize.

so if i change the post_max_size to 100MB i can attach then up to 100MB???

ok so to attach 100Mb
all i have to do is
post_max_size=100MB
upload_max_filesize=100MB
and everything will be fine, right?
sory if i posted a lot of questions but it must be one request to my hosting support

ok thanks very much

i have another question
if the upload_tmp_dir hasn't a value  what happens then??
for me it hasn't a value and the attachment is working
so why in the system requirement upload_tmp_dir has to a valid dir not "no value"

in this case it is using /tmp but not all users on a server (i.e. shared hosts) have access to this folder ... then "no value" will result in errors ...
