upload question

[amrigo]

Hi

My isp has an upload limit of 5 mb
i try to show a message using :

$filesize = $_FILES['thefile']['size'];
if($filesize>MAX_FILE_SIZE) echo "warning!";

If the file is greater then 5 mb the browser just show a apache 501 error in internet explorer or document contains no information in firefox.

I am using a php file to collect data (edit.php) and another to save data ( save.php )

How can i show a message to the user is the file size is greater than 5MB instead of showing the apache 501 error when i exceed the max_file_size

[devinemke]

have a look at $_FILES['thefile']['error']
from the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.errors.php

UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE
Value: 1; The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE
Value: 2; The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.

thank´s for the tip !

my problem keep being a 501 error in the second php file

i have edit.php to fill the fields and submit to save.php

the save.php is producing a 501 (action canceled) error

is it possible to do these checks in the edit.php before to send to save.php ?

seems php have a bug on this topic:

the $_FILES variable is set to zero and so with the temporary name if the fiel is above the upload_max_filesize

i try to use this function but the $val and $last do not contain any value:

function return_bytes ( $val )
{
$val = trim ( $val );
$last = strtolower ( $val{strlen ( $val) - 1} );
switch ( $last )
{
case 'g':
$val = 1024;
case 'm':
$val = 1024;
case 'k':
$val *= 1024;
}
return $val;
}

/test/

if ( ( $_SERVER["CONTENT_LENGTH"] ) > ( return_bytes(ini_get("upload_max_filesize")) ) )
{
$msg .= '<br>filesize is greater than the limit.\n';
}
}

Anyone has any idea why?

Thank´s in advance
