Re: Max File Size exceeded

You are probably referring to >2mb filesize. The default setting in php.ini for uploads are 2 MB. As far as I know there isnt any good way of checking the filesize client-side. You could however use some sort of java-applet I would think for the upload system - this would be able to validate the filesize I guess. The other, and probably the only sollution, would be to modify php.ini on the server to handle larger files. If your on a server with other customers you will probably have a hard time getting your provider to do this as most people have no use for larger files. On the other hand he most likely would love to sell you a dedicated server (so would I, :). -- Kim Steinhaug --------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --------------------------------------------------------------- "Unknown Sender" <bogus@news.php.net> wrote in message news:Pine.LNX.4.21.0008201936070.2397-100000@ftoomsh.progsoc.uts.edu.au... > > Hi All, > > I've written a script that accepts an uploaded image, it sets the > MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden variable as specified.
