As you got it, if the file size is bigger than the size you set in the form,
it won't be uploaded, which leads to your $file_size variable is 0.
You can inform the user that either communication failed or the file is bigger
than the allowed size if you find that $file_size is 0.

You would need to add javascript for that part, as that check has to be done
on the client side, as soon you do something on the server side, the file
would already been uploaded.

According to the example that you can find in the online manual, you don't,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
You can look at some other pages for more information
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-uploaded-file.php
Don't forget the user comments as those usually include good advice.
