mf_iii,
There is code in there to check the file size before uploading... MAX_FILE_SIZE. However the browser has to support this. But if it does it wont allow a person to upload a file that is larger.
As for php.ini. There is no way of getting around trying to upload a file that is larger then the max upload size set in php.ini. This is why if you try to set a size higher then php.ini in my module, the value will be resite to the maximum value of what's set in php.ini. The only way to modify that is to modify the php.ini. You could also try setting a htaccss file in your directory and see if you can set this variable for your virtual server, but I've never tired that so I'm not sure if it will work.
