Get filesize of files before allowing upload

Hi Freaks,

I want to allow users uploading files with a filesize not more than 5 MB. How can I check the filesize of a file that a user selected, before or when beginnning the upload ?

Is this somehow possible with JS ?

?

@pyroMar 25.2003 — Ok, basically what you will want to do is check the file size. Take a look at this:

[code=php]if ($inputfile_size <= 5000000) # $inputfile is the name of your form field that handles the files
{
#upload code here
}
else
{
echo ("File size must be 5 MB or less");
}[/code]


If you need more help, let me know.
