Hi:
I've set-up a library/clearinghouse system that basically allows to add papers and materials to a small member only resource library. I'd like to be able to determine the file's size so that it's displayed next to the item, so that people can gage how long it will take to download items. This seems particularly relevant for some of the older material included, since they consist of abnormally large PDF files (they scanned paper to image, then converted to PDF)
Is the best method for handling this to determine the file size at upload, and then send the information to MySQL, or some other method.
Alnisa
