there are a number of alternatives to having them change the php.ini
setup;
if you are allowed to do settings from .htaccess, thats a good place,
just put this in a .htaccess in the folder:
php_value upload_max_filesize {new_bytes_max}
(see http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php for further details)
This may not be possible (depending on their .htaccess restrictions),
and you might try (if you run php v. 4+), in your script, to do
ini_set(upload_max_filesize,{new_bytes_max});
(see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php for further details)
