upload file size limited to php's limit

You can define the maximum upload size on a field level. Probably you did not change this value.

This is something that needs to be improved because the client PLUpload widget should complain "before" uploading the file, and not after the upload process has completed. That is very bad UX.

I have this same issue after installing the appropriate patches for this module and the plupload integration module( which makes the uploaded file a mangedFile) such that it gets transfered to a private directory. The drupal core kicks back a message that the file exceeds the size matching my post_max_size setting in php.ini, despite my setting in the php.ini and the content form will no longer submit.

I am sorry but this is not true:

You can define the maximum upload size on a field level. Probably you did not change this value.

If you set in that field a very big value plupload works fine and uploads the file in chunks, but core file validation fails as it still evaluates size against PHP settings.

I have sent a more detailed explanation with code in the other duplicate issue to this one #2883893: Cannot upload large files above PHP.ini limits.

One of them should be closed, I think.
