Please advise the proper settings (Apache/PHP/HTML/MySQL/Anything else I missed) to allow a specific byte size upload and to deny 1 byte over with error reporting in LAMP/AJAX. I've heard of Flash and Gears solutions, but these require additional installs for the user -- just to know the file size before an upload. The server is Apache 2. PHP is 5.1.6 HTML has <!DOCTYPE html> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1030000" /> <input type="file" name="attachment" /> PHP ini : file_uploads On On upload_max_filesize 2M 2M post_max_size 8M 8M I believe MySQL max_allowed_packet 1,048,576 was affecting the MySQL INSERT, so I changed MAX_FILE_SIZE to 1030000 above. Now I am seeing cases where if(isset($_FILES['attachment']) && $_FILES['attachment']['size'] > 0){ evaluates to FALSE How can I know that a file upload was attempted yet failed or will fail? My last test case had the web page still claiming it was busy, yet I noticed that the above condition must have evaluated to FALSE, failing silently due to missing error reporting on my part (or the system's part). I am willing to make 2 requests: 1) just to find out if the attempted upload will fail and inform the user. 2) for the actual upload if it should succeed.
