PHP upload file fails in iframe

I have an html page which POSTS files to a PHP backend - either using Ajax or through a hidden iframe.

Using Ajax I can upload files up to the limits set in my .htaccess (10M)

When I use IE - files above 2M are rejected with "Error 1:The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini".

It's as if requests passed with

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------7db16f8c3114c

See a different PHP.INI setting than those that are

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

This is especially troublesome since IE cannot use XHR - so a large part of my users can't upload large files.

Any idea why this is happening?

Technical details:

Server: Linux, Apache, PHP 5.2.17
PHP ini settings (set in .htaccess, and checked using phpinfo):
- upload_max_filesize 10M
- post_max_size 10M
- memory_limit 24M
HTML Form enctype="multipart/form-data"

...and make sure to change both of the php.ini files..

The one in the Apache folder, and the one in the PHP folder..

Make sure that the backend doesn't use ini_set to change the upload limit again. Also make sure that the .htaccess file is in the right directory.
