Re: [Tsheetx-developers] svn check in notice

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Late yesterday I checked in more updates to the simple
form/actions/javascript, and included the code to check if the PHP
configuration variable max_post_size was set to at least 32K.  If not, a
"Fatal Problem" page is displayed explaining that the php.ini file needs to
be modified and that entry needs to be set to at least 32K.  This should
happen, I believe, even when the system needs to be initially installed.

I'm hopeful this addition mitigates the "silently truncated" problem that
could otherwise occur.
