Upload file size limit

[ky...@pcv.cz]

Hi,

I have this problem, on my web I´m using file upload from the web page
something like this:

   <FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
      <INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="ImageName">
   <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Upload file">
    </FORM>
......
[-
open FILE, "> /tmp/file.$$";
print FILE $buffer while read($fdat{ImageName}, $buffer, 32768);
close FILE;
-]

I would like make a size limit for the uploaded file. How to do it ?.


Thanks anyway.

Use APache configuration directive LimitRequestBody, see:

one way is to use smaller chunks and to use code like this
while ($count=read($fdat{ImageName}, $buffer, 32768))
{
	if ($total+$count>$max_allowed)
	{
		remove files, close handles, crash;

	}
	$total+=$count;
	print FILE $buffer;
}

another way is to use CGI MAX_UPLOAD capabilities.
