I have excluded file size checking in the snippet - I still need to add that at some point. I have excluded the code where I change the name of the file and also create thumbnail images - but one could easily add that onto the snippet I have shared.

Saved me a ton of time. Thanks a lot!

@pushpinderbagga Great! :)

hy the path is server path or script path ?
