Question

currently i have php validation as follows

if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 5120) 
{
$_SESSION['error'] = 'Upload FAILED, file is too large !';
header("Location: upload.php");
exit;
}

But this does not seem to stop any large files being uploaded! any help much appreciated!!

Answer 1

Use this to restrict the upload file size :

$max_size = /* whatever */; //File Size in Bytes

if(filesize($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']) > $max_size) {
      die('The file you uploaded is too large.');
    }
