This is a really noobish question...

Barrucadu · 08-09-2005, 05:01 AM

On my image hosting site they're is a 1MB filesize limit, the script I use to check that is:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/114015-this-is-a-really-noobish-question.html

PHP Code:

  //Check the size

if(!filesize($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) <= 1000000){

    echo "File too large!"

    echo "<p>Maximum size is 1MB</p>"

    die("")

}

1st question: are there 1,000,000 bytes in a megabyte
2nd question: would that work?

scribby · 08-09-2005, 05:23 AM

there are 1048576 bytes in 1mb

and die("") I dont think will work use die();

PHP Code:

   
//Check the size

if(!filesize($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) <= 1048576){

    echo "File too large!";

    echo "<p>Maximum size is 1MB</p>";

    die();

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=114015
}

You can use double quotes in the DIE() function

Wont affect anything. They are actually suppossed to be used for a message inside of the DIE() function

Yeah, but there's no point, it's just extra typing.

You can certainly use is as:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=114015

die();

or

die("");

Quotes can be most useful to report back an error to the surfer if you want. I do this all the time when I write code for inept end-users. I will display a SPECIFIC error that I can trace back to the exact line in the code.

For example, if you are trying to open a file and it fails, you can always report the error something like this:

PHP Code:

  <?

  $infile = fopen('file.txt','r');

  if(!$infile) {die("Error Opening File");}

?>

well, yeah, but first an ugly error would appear - you'd want the @ character in the line.

Porte · 08-09-2005, 02:11 PM

or

error_reporting(0);

Also... i dont usually use those types of functions unless i cant use a if/else combo :-/ its better to me...
