Easy way: Don't have MAX_FILE_SIZE, but check $whatever_size and error out. (Security Alert: Opens you up to Denial Of Service attack if somebody wants to do upload after upload) Slightly more involved: Use Apache configuration directives (http://www.apache.org) with php_value error_reporting 0 to force that one file to have PHP errors turned off until after you've dealt with the upload. The $whatever and $whatever_name values are distinctive for an over-sized file as opposed to no file provided or an upload that somehow died in mid-upload. You'll have to experiment to find all the combinations, or dig through the archives for it.
