If you read the text at the mentioned URL, you will also find a note
about how to tell the browser the size limit, so people don't try to
upload stuff, which is too large:

<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="__URL__" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

The __URL__ in the above example should be replaced, and point to a PHP
file.

The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field (measured in bytes) must precede the file
input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted by PHP. This
form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of
waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too
large and the transfer failed.

(quote end)

And this may help as well:
