Thank you, all who replied. This helps me understand. I might give a
try to the workarounds some suggested.
Great newsgroup.

Not at all. The user-agent is built to ignore files that exceed the
MAX_FILE_SIZE value.

If the contents of a file were readable, I would definitely agree with you.

Yes, I know and knew that. That's why the upload ultimately fails
(which is okay).
My point is that when a file's size exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE value,
I want the browser to (a) detect that it's too large BEFORE
attempting to upload
And here is the dump of the $_FILES array (which, notably, reports
zero as the size):
[error] => 2
And also gives you an error code.
