sh0wtym3 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey all, I'm trying to add a script to my site that will allow users to upload mp3 files, but i want to restrict it to ONLY MP3 files. However the script below won't let ANY files be uploaded, not even MP3, and I can't tell why. <?php $target = "uploads/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $ok=1; if (!($uploaded_type=="audio/mpeg")) { echo "You may only upload MP3 files.<br>"; $ok=0; } //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error if ($ok==0) { Echo "The file was not uploaded. Please try again."; } //If everything is ok we try to upload it else { if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } ?> Thanks in advance.

JonnoTheDev Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Bad Syntax if (!($uploaded_type=="audio/mpeg")) { Use if($uploaded_type != "audio/mpeg") { Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125482-solved-restrict-upload-file-type-to-mp3-only/#findComment-648727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadeemshafi9 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 i think you can do it in teh file input feild <input type="file" accept="audio/x-mpeg" /> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125482-solved-restrict-upload-file-type-to-mp3-only/#findComment-648731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0wtym3 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ah, thanks Neil I didn't spot that. I will try it and if it works I will mark this thread solved. And Nadeem thank you for your input as well.

sh0wtym3 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 I changed the syntax, but it is still not letting me upload any MP3 files. I know it has to do with the portion of the script below, because when I remove it I can upload any file type just fine. if($uploaded_type != "audio/mpeg") { echo "Sorry, you may only upload MP3 files.<br>"; $ok=0; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125482-solved-restrict-upload-file-type-to-mp3-only/#findComment-648739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Where in your code is this variable being set? $uploaded_type I cant see it at all Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125482-solved-restrict-upload-file-type-to-mp3-only/#findComment-648741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh0wtym3 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Its not set, sorry I'm pretty new to PHP. How would I go about setting it?

sh0wtym3 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ok I figured it out, the $uploaded_type needed to be audio/mpeg3, not audio/mpeg.
