which jquery plugin you are using? generally inside callback function it will hold those files in some sort of json array whose size you can put in if() clause

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileupload(

maxNumberOfFiles: 6

);

This does not work in my case. I can select more than 6 files and it also uploads all selected files.

I found that sometimes the browser caches the .js file. Try refreshing the actual .js page and see if the changes take effect then.

maxNumberOfFiles was not working for me so i did the following

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileupload(
 change : function (e, data) 
 if(data.files.length>=5)
 alert("Max 5 files are allowed")
 return false;
 
 ,
 maxFileSize: 20000000,
 acceptFileTypes: /(.);

You can limit the uploading files by the "Uploadhandler.php" file .change the "max_number_of_files" option. works for me. But it only validates when you upload the file.

This is valid. A lot of the settings are available client side (via js) and server side (via PHP). I found it useful to duplicate on both, so that the user gets client feedback before the file has been uploaded, but a more secure level of validation takes place on the server also.

Just remember to have some place to show this limit. In my case 100 uploads worked and the others failed, with no error message, just "An error ocurred".

If you are using the "Krajee" fileupload, then you will have to use

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileinput(

If set to 0, it means size allowed is unlimited. Defaults to 0.

You can limit the uploading files by the "Uploadhandler.php" file .change the "max_number_of_files" option. works for me. But it only validates when you upload the file.

This is valid. A lot of the settings are available client side (via js) and server side (via PHP). I found it useful to duplicate on both, so that the user gets client feedback before the file has been uploaded, but a more secure level of validation takes place on the server also.

$('#fileuploadbasic').fileinput(

If set to 0, it means size allowed is unlimited. Defaults to 0.
