also, don't forget about the file uploads in php.ini file -- 
  here's a section from one of mine: (note the max file 
size, change it to whatever you need)

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use 
system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = ".;C:\XAMPP\xampp\tmp"

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M


also, I recall something about a problem with large file 
uploads and the script max_execution_time, but I believe 
that was fixed in a later version of php
