Yes. There are (as far as I can remember) three or so configuration settings which will affect upload size restrictions:

• upload_max_filesize, which sets an upper limit on the size of uploaded files
• post_max_size, which limits the total size of posted data, including file data
• max_input_time, which restricts the length of time the script is allowed to process input data, including posted values

upload_max_filesize is a limit on each individual file; however, post_max_size is an upper limit on the entire request, which includes all the uploaded files.

Different hosting environments will have these values set differently, which may affect your abilities upon deployment.
