check uploaded file's file size?

[h3m4n]

i have a short script that allows users to upload files, but when i try
to check for a valid filesize (using fileitem) i get '-1' i can't find
information about using filesize anywhere. any ideas?

code:

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
fileitem = form["datafile"]
print str(fileitem.filesize)

-h3m4n

Try this

fileitem.seek(0, 2) # Seek to the end of the file.
filesize = fileitem.tell() # Get the position of EOF.
fileitem.seek(0) # Reset the file position to the beginning.

If the fileitem is a normal file this should work.

thanks for the info. i just had to change it from fileitem to
fileitem.file, e.g. fileitem.file.seek(0, 2), and it worked fine.
