Comment:

 In the real world, the memory limit doesn't appear to limit the upload
 size.

 With my memory limits set to 40M I'm able to upload a 100MB file without
 issue.

 PHP's behaviour may have changed in the last few years, but the
 documentation now reads:
 > Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file
 upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than
 upload_max_filesize. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger
 than post_max_size.

 Since there's been no reports of issues surrounding this, i'm marking this
 as invalid unless someone can track down where/when it affected PHP.
