 * when i try to restore the sql backup file through phpmyadmin i encounter this
   error
    **You probably tried to upload too large file. Please refer to documentation
   for ways to workaround this limit.** altough it’s mentioned just beside the button
   that the **(Max: 50MiB)** . meaning i did not exceed the maximun yet ( my file
   is just 3.1 MO ) . i get an error of the same kind when trying to upload the 
   XML file through the import tool altough the maximum size is 20 M0 ( my file 
   is just 400 Kb) . what do you think?

 * do you think that **(Max: 50MiB) ** does not necessary mean that the maximum 
   size to upload is 50 m0 ?am iobliged to refer to the PHP.INI file to check that?
