[SOLVED] File type application/zip

[Jesper]

For some reason, when I'm uploading a zip file to my site, for some of them the check for file type ($_FILES['effect_download']['type'] sais that it isn't "application/zip". Has anyone ever had this problem or knows how to fix it?

When something does not match what your code is expecting, echo out what it actually is.

 

My guess is that the uploads that don't work are exceeding one of the upload size settings and an upload error is being generated but your code is not checking for errors.

type

print_r($_FILES);

and see what you get when u upload something that fails.

 

just because its example.zip doesn't mean its an application/zip

just because its example.zip doesn't mean its an application/zip

 

And just because it's application/zip doesn't mean it's .zip.

 

Don't trust mime-types.

I just showed [name] for file type... Strange. Anyways, thanks for your help. I won't use this way of getting the file type anymore .
