You can't do it with PHP, with PHP you can only check it after the file has uploaded, you can only do it on the client side. This means you have 3 options: 1) form field MAX_FILE_SIZE, which is the easiest thing to bypass. Some browsers even ignore this. 2) Javascript check, this can also be bypassed quite easily. 3) Do it through a seperate program, like an JAVA applet, or a stand alone application. Both can be bypassed too, though you need to have knowledge of ASM and Reverse Engineering for that, which is not easy, but once you know it, it can be quite easy to do it too ( I could do it in less than 5 mins ) Tijnema -- Vote for PHP Color Coding in Gmail! -> http://gpcc.tijnema.info -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
