how to limit each file's size when uploading from a form with severalfiles.

hi,guys.

i am using apache 2.2 .i want to let the browser know that one of
the files is too large when the file size exceeds 5M.

The "LimitRequestBody" directive does not make sense. because it
check the total request body's size instead of each file's,right?

Need help now.

regards.

AFAIK this is not possible - don't allow multiple files per post or do
some validation on the submission. If you are uploading to a PHP page,
adding a hidden field named 'MAX_FILE_SIZE' preceding an input type of
file may help but is relatively simple to trick (NB this is a PHP
thing not a HTTP/HTML thing).
