FN-FORUM: file size /type best practice

date posted 29th January 2007 12:10

As part of an image upload script, I want to limit the file types and max
sizes (file size not dimensions)

Obviously I'll be using MAX_FILE_SIZE in my form (PHP) , but I wondered if
anyone had any tips on checking the size and type prior to upload

I don't think it can be done with JavaScript but I'm happy to be educated
other wise (other than checking the name as a string to make sure it ends in
.jpg or .jpeg or .png etc etc)

Any ideas are welcome
