<?php
function file_upload_max_size() {
  static $max_size = -1;

  if ($max_size < 0) {
    $upload_max = _file_convert_to_mb(ini_get('upload_max_filesize'));
    // sanity check- a single upload should not be more than 50% the size limit of the total post

    $max_size = ($upload_max < $post_max) ? $upload_max : $post_max;
