   I searched forum and found fix to limit file types in config.php. I'm now looking for fix for max file size. I tried several of the answers and was only able to get it to work by creating a php.ini file, and then uploading it to the root of install. The file contains the following:

   -----------

   php.ini file:
   post_max_size = 100000
   upload_max_filesize = 100000

   settings.php:
   ini_set('post_max_size', '100000');
   ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100000');

   -----------

   It stops larger files from uploading, but no error message is displayed like when wrong file type is used. It just returns user back to the form with uploads field blank. I don't have access to php.ini on server, and that is why I created one to put in Machform directory.

   Any ideas on how to return an error message to the user within the form?

   Otherwise the software works great and I am glad I found your site. Thanks.

   Hi,

   You can add another validation by editing some files, but you still need to set "post_max_size" value.
   First Edit your "includes/common-validator.php" and add these code around line 29 :

   //validation for required file
   	function validate_max_file($value){
   		$error_message = "You can not upload more that 2 Kb";
   		$element_file = $value[0];
   
   		if($_FILES[$element_file]['size'] < 2000){
   			return true;
   		}else{
   			return $error_message;
   		}
   	}

   after that, edit your "includes/post-function.php" and search around line 804, you will see these code :

   $rules[$element_name]['filetype'] 	= true;

   exactly below that code , add this code :

   $rules[$element_name]['max_file'] 	= true;

   May I ask where to find the settings.php so that I can insert the two lines of code?
   ini_set('post_max_size', '100000');
   ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100000');

   Hmmm .. you should put those code in "config.php" file

   I must be missing something... what I've done is:

   - insert into config.php
   ini_set('post_max_size', '100000');
   ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '100000');

   - insert into php.ini
   post_max_size = 100000
   upload_max_filesize = 100000

   - edit the includes/common-validator
   inserted the above code

   - edit includes/post-function.php
   inserted the above code

   Yes the php.ini stops any files larger than 100kb from uploading, but still no error message.

   I figure it out at last.... I should NOT set the post_max_size in php.ini

   Just modify the config.php, common-validator.php, and post-function.php

   Thank you so much.
