Most uploads are controlled by a button saying 'go'. In the pre-ajax
world at least. This is encompassed in a <form></form> block.

Exactly.

Defaults are in /etc/php.ini ( or in your debian/ubuntu /  apache
case /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ).
    upload_max_filesize =3D 2M

Overrides can be put in .htaccess
    php_value  upload_max_filesize  2M

Or in php code
    ini_set("upload_max_filesize", "2M");

hth,
