It seems that the server had to know the size of the file in order to know it exceeded MAX_FILE_SIZE. So how can my script find out the size?
Not at all. The user-agent is built to ignore files that exceed the MAX_FILE_SIZE value.

Ack! I meant, "The user-agent *should be* built to ignore ..." ie. MAX_FILE_SIZE is generally a client-side tool (and thus not to be relied upon too much) but will be honoured by PHP as well (if it does not exceed post_max_size in php.ini). brian
