When uploading files. PHP is the best to use. Well to what you have it is.

Javascript is still good but PHP will be better for it.

Take a look!

I wanna stop the huge files but the parser always outputs an error on broswer concerning the limitation of the php.ini upload max size

Could you give me help?

Easy problem fixed. If you have access to the php.ini file change Upload Max Filesixe 8M to 10M.

Its not working cos most likely your files are bigger then 8Megabytes which is max PHP will let you.

I don't have this permission concering to change the php.ini 🙁

I insist in it because i wanna test a form that contains TEXTAREA fileds so if a user attemps to upload a file bigger in terms of the limit and press submit then a php file is gonna to be executed and then occurs the problem.

In that case the user have to go back and all the fields will reset.

Can i do something in order to prevent the resetting of the input fields?

I want a script to check onclick something like that.

Thanks!
