Filesize function

[merylvingien]

Having an issue where a peice of code is just being ignored.

 

<?php
if($_POST){
$image =$_FILES["image"]["name"];
$img = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$size= filesize($_FILES["image"]["name"]);
$maxsize= 400;

if ($size > $maxsize*1024){
echo "File too big";
exit();
} 
else
{

 

That is the first bit of code in the page, if i upload a image within the size allowance everything is ok, but if i try one which is a lot bigger, it ignore the if $size >  statement and just continues on and throws a bunch of errors.

 

Any ideas?

Because $_FILES["image"]["name"] is not the path to the actual file, so $size = false. Try:

 

$size = filesize($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"]);

Thanks for the reply, but still doesnt work, although the error messages have changed, i cant see why this wont work...

Actually its working fine, but as i was loading a file which was larger than the allowed size in the php.ini file, thats why the errors were throwing up.

 

Researching how to prevent a larger than allowed file to be uploaded and prevent the errors to start with.
