Checking a file size before actually uploading.

Is there any way with the fileupload control to not have it upload the file
if it's to big? I want to set a 5MB limit but don't want to have the user
upload a 50MB only to be told once it's done that the file is to big.

TIA - Jeff.

Hi There, I have a PHP script that sends an email with attachment and works great when provided the path to the file to send. However this file needs to be on the same server as the script. I want to develop a webpage where people can send attachments that are stored on their local PC.

Q: How should I handle file upload? A: File uploading requires HTML form of content type "multipart/form-data". The file content has to be POSTed/submitted via the form and once the file is uploaded, it will be available at the "upload_tmp_dir" (usually /tmp) directory. Then you may move that file to another directory using move_uploaded_file(); file name will be available in the superglobal $_FILES. Refer:...

Hello, I have an ASP.NET webpage that uses an instance of System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile for uploading files to our server. I came across the documentation at MSDN for upping the filesize limit, once I saw the behavior of the page bombing with files bigger than 4 MB. So far so good. But the situation I'm coming across is that there doesn't seem to be an elegant way of recovering from a user attempting to upload files

I need a file reduction routine that creates a good image...

Hi How do I tell the user he has tried to upload a file which is too big... 1. when the httpRuntime.maxRequestLength has been exceeded and 2. when the uploaded file is under then httpRuntime.maxRequestLength For point 1. it would be good to at least display a nice error page. IE seems to just display a blank page.

Hi all, I am not a developer, but I work with several and am posting this for them. We are trying to determine whether it is possible to check the size of a file before a user uploads it. Everything I've read suggests that this is impossible (or at least very difficult) in PHP, and this makes sense for a server-side language. What gives me pause, however, is the fact that when a user tries to upload a file larger than the max file...

Hi All, I have an HTML File upload control and I want to check the size of uploaded file by the user at the time of uploading. If size exceeds 25MB, then it shows the confirmation message that "File size exceeds 25MB. Do you want to continue anyway". If user clicks on OK button then the file is uploaded else not. I found many solution but all have some limitations. Please try your codes before posting. Thanks & Best of luck.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
