its not needed, if you in fact edited the php.ini global, then there is no reason why you shouldnt have a 50mb max_upload() on the server
have you ran phpinfo() on against your server? if you have created a php.ini file where did you put it on the server?

PS, this is supposed to be posted in the forums, just as stated when you opend up to post a blog. please post issues of this nature in the fourms.
