[SOLVED] Trouble with an if statement dealing with file upload.

[Alecdude]

I'm trying to implement an item that will allow me to add support for all image files, but it seems to be hesitant and I can't figure out why.

 

Here is the if statement:

if(strpos(((string)$_FILES['pork']['type']),"image"))
{
//stuff
}

 

I tested this outside of the if statement, and it returned as 0. If I use it in the if statement, it returns as false.  It seems to mess up somewhere.

But I haven't the foggiest.

 

Help, please?

0 is the same as false when it comes to boolean comparisons.

No, it's because it is in the POSITION of 0.

 

The string being entered is image/somefiletype

 

So it reads image at position 0.

From the php manual for the function you are using -

Warning

This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.

exactly. Since it's inside the condition, when it returns 0, the condition is looking at it as false, because...

 

0 is the same as false when it comes to boolean comparisons.
