I programmed a shopping cart system which uploads photos for products. Now, when the filesize of the photo is very large it doesnt upload. I know PHP has a filesize limitation. I would not like to increase it on the php.ini file because that would require a large load on the server.

Im wondering how sites like [ringo.com](http://ringo.com) or [fotolog.com](http://fotolog.com) manage to upload photos of ANY size.

Is there a way to resize the photo on the client side and the upload it?
