In your form uploading script:
# individual file size limit - in bytes (102400 bytes = 100KB)
$file_size_ind = "838860800"; // 819.2 MB
$weight=$_FILES[fileupload][size];
if ($weight>$file_size_ind)
{
echo"<br><img src=\"$dir_img/error.gif\" width=\"15\"
height=\"15\"> <b><font size=\"2\">ERROR: please get the
file size
less than ".$file_size_ind." BYTES (".round(($file_size_ind/1024),2)."
KB)</font></b><br>»<a
href=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">back</a>";
