    I want to take an image and resize it to 500 by 500 max IF it exceeds that in dimensions and then upload it, how can this be done?

    What I have:
    foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
    $tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
    $name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
    move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $name);
    }

    Myself I'ld solve this with PHP's GD library. However, not everyone has GD installed at his/her server. Before, please check if you have GD installed at your server, and let me know :) (open phpinfo(), and find "GD". See if status is installed)

    You cannot test the size of the image before uploading it. This cannot be done within a browser, but only with a server-side script (like PHP) which requires the full file to test it.

    It is a fact that you can't test the image size before uploading it, but afterwards the GD -if necessary- simple resizes the image ;)
