Jacob, When you upload a file, it appends a few of its own variables. One of them is size - assuming the file is a variable called $file: if ($file_size > $max_size) { echo $file_name . " was too big!"; } Also, you could check for Mime types. if ($file_type != "image/jpeg" || $file_type != "image/pjpeg") { echo "We only like jpegs!"; } As a footnote, 500Kb is 512000 bytes (1024 bytes in a Kb).
