Or can I at least read these out, so I can inform the user of the max
file size?

php_info echoes it all right way...


From the page where you did get info on ini_set:
See Also
1) get_cfg_var()
2) ini_get()
3) ini_get_all()
4) ini_restore()
5) How to change configuration settings

so, try option 2, 3 or 5....

post max size/upload max size are AFAIK both PHP_INI_DIR, so you can
change those in php.ini/httpd.conf (which you probably can't reach), or an
..htaccess file, which most hosters allow. Most shared hosters I encounter
have a limit of something like 2M (which IMO is extremely low), but have
no problem if you up the limits for a specific script receiving files.

You are right. I cannot reach those, just talked to one.com about it.
Still, I have 12M which is more tnan you mention here :-) I should be
happy.
I guess I'll just have to explain my client that....
