Well I am guessing that is where you would set the max file size, with the script you are using. You basically asnwered your own question.

Also, I just double read your post, and you cannot restrict a file based on pixels, you can only restrict a file on file size.

right, my site only displays files 350 x 250 pixels. I dont want people uploading hugh files to the server, what size restriction would you recomend i set it to,

The only foolproof solutions rely on server-side scripting. Client-side
validation for image dimensions can help. but it doesn't works across all
browsers. See the sample below and check the notes for browser
compatibility:

Hope it could help

You could just set your image placeholder on the page where the picture will be displayed to 350x250, but this can lead to problems if someone uploads a big file, and if the image isn't dimensionally equal you will get image distortions..

Another approach is to write, or find, a script that would resize the image when it gets uploaded. That would ensure that the image will fit perfectly within your design.
