You can't know that from PHP (server side) directly. You can use Javascript/Ajax (client side) to send the file size back to PHP. However, the question is why do you care about the file size before upload? If you want to prevent files over a certain size from being uploaded you can set that with 'upload_max_filesize' in php.ini. The default is 2M.

because we need to limit the file size as our server is not too big . The user need to upload multiple file .so , we currenly have problem when user upload file too big and it slower our server

    if ($_FILES['image']['size'] >= 44040192) {
        $errors[] = 'File size must be less than or equal to 42 MB';
    }

Simply check the file size and throw and throw an error if it is too big. I would also on the HTML page state the maximum file size allowed to upload. You could also try to compress the file, but that gets more involved.

Check the php.net documentation for a method that will allow PHP to ignore the file upload if it's too large. Hint: it's a hidden input in your <form>.

That will only take effect after the file has been uploaded.

Yeah I know, but wouldn't the file name have to be known if it is a hidden attribute?

Like I said, you can limit the upload size with the php.ini parameter or use requinix suggestion. However, a malicious user could change that parameter in the HTML page.
