As far as I know you have no way of knowing the size of the file before the upload except if you use a javascript/flash upload. Otherwise to determit the size of the file the user will have to upload it and then the form (along with the file) is sent to your view which will then handle it.
The allowed upload size should be possible to set in apache but it's been many years since I used apache and leave that part of the question for someone else to answer.
