yii CMultiFileUpload max file size validation

Question

I am using CMultifileUpload for the file upload and trying to set the Maximum upload size for the file. As I searched and didn't get any in-built parameters to set the Max file size before upload.

Here my upload file code,

$filetype="avi|flv|mp4|mpeg|mov|3gp|mkv|vob|divx|mpg|wmv|wlmp";
            $this->widget('CMultiFileUpload', array(
                'model'=>$model,
                'name' => 'videofile', 
                'max'=>1,
                'accept' => $filetype,  
                'duplicate' => 'Duplicate file!', 
                'denied' => 'Invalid file type', 
                'htmlOptions'=>array('style'=>'opacity: 0;  height: 136px; width: 200px;cursor: pointer;'),
                'options'=>array(
                    'onFileSelect'=>'function(e, v, m){
                        var size=$("#videofile")[0].files[0].size;
                        alert(size);
                        if(size <=25*1024*1024){
                            $(".black_overlay").show();
                            $("#video-form").submit();
                        }else{
                            alert("File Size Exceeded");
                            $("#video-form").reset();
                            return false;
                        }
                    }',

                 ),
            ));

What i am getting is, the if condition success case is working fine, but for the failure case, the form is not reseting.

And what actually I am trying is, want to validate the file size before submitting.

Help me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can try this. this will work

'afterFileSelect'=>'function(e ,v ,m){
            var fileSize = e.files[0].size;
                 if(fileSize>800*1024){ <--800KB limit
                    alert("Exceeds file upload limit 800KB");
                    $(".MultiFile-remove").click(); <--cliks the remove button if size exceeds
                  }                      
                  return true;

                }',

                $("#photos").reset();

try this in your rules:

array('yourfile','file', 'types'=>'jpg, gif, png, jpeg', 'maxSize'=>1024 * 1024 * 50, 'tooLarge'=>'File has to be smaller than 50MB'),

more details:

or configure your php.ini file:
