… which is currently based on more than 13 years of *professionally* 
maintaining GNU/Linux systems, including Debian and Ubuntu based ones, 
running PHP-powered Web sites.  You would do well to listen to that.

Nonsense.  This is a full-*text* search; it does not make sense to search in 
binaries at all.  [Which is why ack(1) does not do that by default.]

[Only wannabes talk about computer technology in terms of mysticism and 
incantations.  There is no “mystery config setting” here.  It is simply 
binary logic instead: either there is something causing this behavior, then 
this problem can be solved by changing the configuration; or there is not, 
then this problem can only be solved by exchanging the software.]

“-r” instead of “-R” prevents grep(1) from going into an endless loop (which 
is allowed for symlinks).

“-w” searches for *words*, not just for substrings.  No, that is _not_ 
pointless here.  It might be even better to search for 
'\<upload_max_filesize[[:space:]]*=', 
'\<php_\(admin_\)\?value[[:space:]]upload_max_file\>' (or its egrep 
equivalent instead.

Nonsense.  GNU grep(1) as in Ubuntu uses POSIX Basic Regular Expressions
*by default* (“-F” searches for fixed strings).  “-e” is merely used so that 
expressions starting with “-” are not considered options.  I am using it out 
of good habit; it is not strictly necessary *here* because the pattern does 
not start with “-”.

True.  “upload_max_filesize” is a PHP_INI_PERDIR directive since PHP 4.2.4; 
it can be set in the Virtual Host configuration as well.   (As far as PHP is 
concerned, the Virtual Host configuration is the same as httpd.conf because 
those files are merely includes of that file or its distribution adjunct, 
apache2.conf.  It *cannot* be set with ini_set() or in the Windows registry 
anymore.  That is what RTFM gives you, for free.)

I am aware of that (the OP is not, because they would not RTFM); the link 
targets are in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ (the a2ensite and a2dissite 
commands then make it easy to enable and disable Virtual Hosts by just 
adding and removing those symlinks).  That makes this recursive search even 
more a waste of time.  The *exact* config file for the *used* Virtual Host, 
its includes, and the server/PHP configuration files in and under its 
DOCUMENT_ROOT should be consulted instead.
