Hi!

The KISS solution: configure the maximum size of a request in Apache itself, using the LimitRequestBody option in the configuration.

You should find a way to handle nicely the error pages the user will see when submitting a file too large. This of course depends on your setup, if you are doing the upload using some Ajax trickery or not, etc.

If you don't want to use the Apache thing, you should be able to do a streaming upload (stream it to disk) and cut off the copying after a certain point. It should be straightforward to return an error message.
