I was having the same problem and being familiar with mostly .NET platform makes you forget about stuff that happens in the client side html.

My problem was my form is having a MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden input which has some value lesser than file's equavalent bytes.

Your form should have this;

Other than that, your form tag must include enctype="multipart/form-data"

I was thining that max file size was in kb, but it's in bytes, thanks to some other page in stackoverflow.

The other reason that might cause this problem your php.ini settings that people have mentioned in previous comments. You should can post_max_size = 200M to php.ini file too.

If you are developing on Windows like me, you can see a dump file that showing errors at C:\Windows\Temp called as "php**VERSION**_errors.log". It helps.
