Thanks for this George. I found a way to grab the file size of the
document and enter it in the DB as either KB or MB
$documentsize = $_FILES['thefile']['size'];
// if document size is less than 1MB round up
number to nearest KB
if ($documentsize <= 1048576) {
$documentsize = $documentsize / 1024;
$documentsize = round($documentsize);
$documentsize .= "KB";
}
// if document size is greater than 1MB round
up number to MB with 2 decimals
else {
$documentsize = $documentsize / 1048576;
$documentsize = round($documentsize, 2);
$documentsize .= "MB";
}
This might be useful for someone if they want to show the link to an
uploaded document with file size information displayed.

Steven,
You need to start by checking what might be passed. I assume that you
going to work on 'name'. What will that be and will it always be
consistent? Will all files have three character extensions (mine
don't!)? If these are consistent, then you can use
substr($name,0,strlen($name)-4) to provide the name element and
substr($name,strlen($name)-3),3) to provide the extension, but i think
that explode() is better.
$name = "filename.pdf";
$split = explode(".",$name);
$fname = $split[0];
$extn = $split[1];
That might help you.
Cheers
George
