Re: Max File Size exceeded

You are probably referring to >2mb filesize. The default
setting in php.ini for uploads are 2 MB.

As far as I know there isnt any good way of checking the
filesize client-side. You could however use some sort of
java-applet I would think for the upload system - this would
be able to validate the filesize I guess.

The other, and probably the only sollution, would be to
modify php.ini on the server to handle larger files. If your
on a server with other customers you will probably have a
hard time getting your provider to do this as most people
have no use for larger files. On the other hand he most likely
would love to sell you a dedicated server (so would I, :).
