max file size error message -->>

[Anon]

Hey Ya'll,

I have this piece of normal HTML code in a var.php file:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="75000">
<input type="File" name="picture">

And now when I DO submit a picture larger then 75000, this is the error message:

Warning: Max file size exceeded - file [picture] not saved in [no active file] on line 0

How can I edit this message?!? Or is there another way for controlling the maximum upload size!??

Thanx,
Niels

Yes, I have never gotten this to work either. You can check the size of the file by using the variable $picture_size, where 'picture' is the name of the File input on your form. You can also use $picture_type to get the MIME type of the file. I belive $picture_path is the remote filepath, but i'm not sure.

This is however a substandard workaround because the file will get uploaded when the form is submitted, before the check has taken place.

I don't have to upload files very often tho so it doesn't bother me hehee

Yes,

You can increase the size of allowed uploads by editing your php.ini file.

In there, search for "upload_max_filesize=XX" and replace XX with the number of bytes you want to allow for uploads. Default is 2M or 2097012 bytes.

Then, restart your web server...

Hope this helps...
