 * recently i have been getting the following message when uploading .pdf files:
   
   The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
 * this has never happened before. the files are just over 2MB but in the past i
   have uploaded files larger than that without a problem. anybody know why that
   is and what i can do to remedy it?
 * thanks
    dave

 * Your hosting provider probably decided to clamp down on the amount of files being
   uploaded via PHP. To increase the size, refer to this topic:
