Hello,
I have a page that uploads a file. It has a form and uses SELF to
process the file the second time around.
I have MAX_FILE_SIZE set. The problem is, if the file is too big I
cant check $FILE['xx'][size] until it comes back.Which could be a
while.(which the server sets to 0).
I want to check it with javascript if possible.
If I try to upload a 20 gig file the customer wont know its too big
for hours.
Help
and Thanks
Mike

how would you know the file size if it's not on the server yet?
to answer your javascript question in this non-javascript group, the answer
is no, you cannot do it via javascript either.
you could build a Flash file-uploader a-la Flickr
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/) ... that might be the only way to do
what you want.

You can limit POST size on Apache (and presumably other webservers
too)
