The file size limiter doesnt work, and also, it uploads the file taking ages before it tells u that the filesize is wrong. how can i make it do it straigt away? what do i change to make the file size limit 12 megs?
Thanks

Well, you can't know the filesize before the user actually sends it; unless you use some client-sided applet to verify it before sending.

About the file size, you must change the "upload_max_filesize" setting, which is usually 2MB
Note that this option can be set in php.ini or httpd.conf only.
