For file uploads larger than 8MB, you must have these settings in your
/etc/php.ini file:

 upload_max_filesize  = (some number greater than 8 million)
 post_max_size  = (some number greater than upload_max_filesize)
 memory_limit = (some number greater than the 2 settings above)

If the "post_max_size" configuration setting is not in your /etc/php.ini
you need to add it.

Example of a file  upload form that works at Modwest:
Begin copying here:
---------------------------------------------------------
<?php

# set this to the path where you want uploads to arrive

$UPLOAD_DIR = "/uploaded_files/";

if( empty($UPLOAD_DIR) )
{
  print("<h3>The \$UPLOAD_DIR variable has not been set at the top of
this file.</h3>");
}
else if(! is_dir($UPLOAD_DIR) )
{
  print("<h3>The directory $UPLOAD_DIR does not exist. You may need to
create it.</h3>");
}
else if( ! is_writable($UPLOAD_DIR) )
{
  print("<h3>The directory $UPLOAD_DIR is not writable.</h3>");
}

Note that you should never allow anonymous visitors to upload files to
your account, particularly to a location that is web-accessible. Doing
so creates an opportunity for hackers to install and run malicious 
software in your account. Therefore the destination of your uploads
should be inaccessible to web browsers or password protected.
