Here's a magical line that tells user agent (browser) not to post files
larger than 5000. In this case $_FILES['file']['error'] should contain the
value of UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE .

If you want to hard limit to 3 megs, you can just adjust this:
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="5000" border="0">
to
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="3000" border="0">
If you wanna do really good errormessages, try something similar to what I
did with a file uploader. "liite" is the name of my file field:
switch($_FILES['liite']['error']){
case UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE:
case UPLOAD_ERR_FORM_SIZE:
echo "File {$_FILES['liite']['name']} upload failed because the
filesize (".number_format($_FILES['liite']['size']/1024,1)." kb) is too big.
Please contact administration.";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL:
echo "File {$_FILES['liite']['name']} upload failed because file was
only partially transmitted. Please contact administration.";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_TMP_DIR:
case UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE:
echo "File {$_FILES['liite']['name']} upload failed because of
server error. Please contact administration.";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_OK:
echo "File {$_FILES['liite']['name']} upload sucessful";
break;
case UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE:
default:
break;
}
And do check out the manual.
