Limiting file size when uploading files with PHP

[earthlingzed]

I have created a php page that allows users to upload files to a server. I have also created conditions that check to make sure the files being uploaded are either jpg, gif or png format, as well check to see if the file is less than 1MB using the following php:

 if ( $_FILES['image']['size'] <= 1048576){  // output in bytes

However, when I attempt to upload images that exceed 1MB, the page allows the upload and does not display an error as I had programmed.

I am also using theHTML MAX_FILE SIZE like this:

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1048576" />

Any ideas? Could it possible be a server setting?

can you look into the array with that
print_r($_FILES);exit;

just before this
if ( $_FILES['image']['size'] <= 1048576){ // output in bytes

it is not because of the server settings

strangely enough, an image that is over 1 mb is showing up in the array output by print_r($_FILES) as 0. This does not make sense. I know the default file size upload levy is usually 2 mb.

This could be because the browser did not upload a file (because the MAX_FILE_SIZE field is set); are you sure a file is being uploaded? Take that field out and see if something changes. (It also sounds as if you're not checking to see if a file is uploaded before trying to examine it.)
