yes i restarted the web server after changing the values and the phpinfo() 
output shows me the the value i had set in php.ini.

Any changes made to the upload_max_filesize in php.ini is reflected in the 
compose window of the squirrel mail (It shows the max size that can be 
attached) , so it must be taking the value from php.ini.

today i tried sending some attachments from horde, i was unable to send 
attachments over 1 Mb now (strange). i have checked the apache and php logs but 
nothing shows up. The only noticeable log i found was of imap which says the 
following.

May 23 19:19:59 mail imapd: DISCONNECTED user=vamsy.krishna, ip= 
[:ffff:127.0.0.1] headers=0, body=0

The noticeable part is as soon as i click the send button with an attachment 
greater than 1 MB i get the above line on the log and either the browser gets 
stuck or it shows me a error page saying DNS server not found.

yes my php.ini has a line like this "upload_tmp_dir=/tmp" but still attachments 
work only when $conf['tmpdir'] = '/tmp' is set in horde.php
