Get image size before upload

[cs3mw]

Hi all is it possible to get the size of an image before the image is uploaded to the server without using javascript?

If you are using a form to upload the image like this,

<input id="upload" type="file" name="uploaded_file">

once the form is submitted but before you actually upload it you can do stuff like:

if (($_FILES['uploaded_file']['size'] > 2048001)) {
die ('File must be an image, and 2MB or less in size. No animated GIFs.');
}
At that point I believe it is still in memory, and you must commit it to your file system in a manner such as:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
or die('Failed! Receiving directory has insuffiecient permissions.');

You can't get the file size with out it being uploaded. For the above $_FILES to get the size, as Auxone as said, it is in the servers /tmp directory, and has been uploaded.
