[SOLVED] uploading files (not images)

[richrock]

I've got my script working perfect to upload files.  However, almost everything I see is about uploading images, which is probably the most common use for this function.

 

However, I need to upload the following: .doc, .pdf, .wav, .mpg and .wmv

 

I've found the mimetype for pdf - 'application/pdf', but can't seem to find the other formats.

 

Just got to fill in the gaps here:

 

// allow MIME file types
$filetype = array('application/pdf','','','');
$ftype = false;

// check if uploaded file type is allowed
foreach($filetype as $type) {

if ($type == $_FILES['frmfile']['type']) {

	$ftype = true;
	break;

}

}

Don't trust mimetype - It's defined by the client. Instead, check the extension and if you have the extension, check the _real_ mimetype using http://php.net/fileinfo
