error uploading image using php

[prakash]

Hi

 

I am using following condition to upload image from php.

 

if (($_FILES["somefile"]["type"] == "image/jpg") || ($_FILES["somefile"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["somefile"]["type"]  == "image/pjpeg")) {
// correct image type
} else {
// print wrong image type
}

 

I want a condition to upload only jpg image but this code doesn't works on all jpg images.

 

can anyone give me an idea what may be the cause / is the condition correct?

 

Thanks

in your else statement, do:

print $_FILES["somefile"]["type"];

and see what the type is

 

also...instead of checking the mime-type...you can try feeding it to imagecreatefromjpeg() and see if it returns something
