Hopefully someone here might have an answer to my question.
I have a basic form that contains simple fields, like name, number, email address etc and 1 file upload field.
I am trying to add some validation into my script that detects if the file is too large and then rejects the user back to the form to select/upload a smaller file.
My problem is, if a user selects a file that is bigger than my validation file size rule and larger than php.ini POST_MAX_SIZE/UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE and pushes submit, then PHP seems to try process the form only to fail on the POST_MAX_SIZE settings and then clears the entire $_POST array and returns nothing back to the form.
Is there a way around this? Surely if someone uploads something > than the max size configured in the php.ini then you can still get the rest of the $_POST data???
Here is my code.
<?php
function validEmail($email)
{
$isValid = true;
$atIndex = strrpos($email, "@");
if (is_bool($atIndex) && !$atIndex)
{
$isValid = false;
} else {
$domain = substr($email, $atIndex+1);
$local = substr($email, 0, $atIndex);
$localLen = strlen($local);
$domainLen = strlen($domain);
if ($localLen < 1 || $localLen > 64)
{
// local part length exceeded
$isValid = false;
}
else if ($domainLen < 1 || $domainLen > 255)
{
// domain part length exceeded
$isValid = false;
}
else if ($local[0] == '.' || $local[$localLen-1] == '.')
{
// local part starts or ends with '.'
$isValid = false;
}
else if (preg_match('/\\.\\./', $local))
{
// local part has two consecutive dots
$isValid = false;
}
else if (!preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9\\-\\.]+$/', $domain))
{
// character not valid in domain part
$isValid = false;
}
else if (preg_match('/\\.\\./', $domain))
{
// domain part has two consecutive dots
$isValid = false;
}
else if
(!preg_match('/^(\\\\.|[A-Za-z0-9!#%&`_=\\/$\'*+?^{}|~.-])+$/', str_replace("\\\\","",$local)))
{
// character not valid in local part unless
// local part is quoted
if (!preg_match('/^"(\\\\"|[^"])+"$/', str_replace("\\\\","",$local)))
{
$isValid = false;
}
}
}
return $isValid;

PHP is returning this error in the log: [29-Apr-2010 10:32:47] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 57885895 bytes exceeds the limit of 10485760 bytes in Unknown on line 0
Excuse all the debug stuff :)
FTR, I am running PHP 5.1.2 on IIS.

PHP throws all the POST data away because there was no room to put it. There is nothing reliable to be had from only part of the data.
I would work around this problem by uploading the necessary files in a separate step, a different form. You can store the values already obtained in session, ensuring they are not lost because of excessive POST data.
