Do you really need a script for that? It usually tells you in KB or MB how large your file is, and how many files are needed to upload.
Well, it's a pretty dirty trick. What you do is use AJAX to do that. Using iframe's you upload the file to the server and at the same time, constantly conact the server using XMLHttpRequest to a file which reports the size of the file being uploaded. This trick is just not recommended for the obvious pitfalls in it's way. But, you also need to know where to look for the file. Like, while uploading the file thru a php script which uploads it to a location like /myhome/files/thefile.ext, you won't find the file at that place till the upload is complete. It'll be there in the temp_uploads folder. check ur php.in to know the folder on ur server system. I also think, there is a php constant to know that, not pretty sure for that.

It will be script or just way of how to do that like rohan2kool replied. I meant i must write code in php by saying php script. (Not in anyother language). And it will be multifile upload. Now i am going to use ajax to do that as rohan2kool told. But not sure about result. Thank you both.

I tried to do as you told. But when i attempted to get the size of temp_file while upload process it couldn't find the file.
I insert the temp name of file to database table. Then with another file which will be called by ajax i select name and try to get the size.
Problem is script suspends until $_FILE array is complete so it writes temp_name to table after upload. So the temp_name would have been already deleted by the time second file tries to access it. I must know temp_name in the start of upload. But how to find temp_name? Without it i can not talk about temp filesize.
