how to add .rar extention to this script

[hailam]

I am running file hosting script, but the problem is that the script is not allowing me to upload .rar files. Can anyone tell me how to add .rar extention to the lines below:

 

$valid_file_types = array(

  array('avi', 'video/avi', 'Video Clip'),

  array('avi', 'video/msvideo', 'Video Clip'),

  array('avi', 'video/x-msvideo', 'Video Clip'),

  array('jpg', 'image/jpeg', 'JPG Image'),

  array('jpeg', 'image/jpeg', 'JPEG Image'),

  array('jpg', 'image/pjpeg', 'JPG Image'),

  array('jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'JPEG Image'),

  array('zip', 'application/x-zip-compressed', 'Compressed Zip File'),

  array('zip', 'application/zip', 'Compressed Zip File'),

  array('zip', 'multipart/x-zip', 'Compressed Zip File')

);

I would echo out the file type:

 

$_FILES["file"]["type"];

 

Once you know the type you can add it to your list 

[mikesta707]

array('rar', 'not sure what goes here', 'not sure what goes here');

shouldnt that work? you just have to figure out what goes in the 2nd and 3rd values... which shouldnt be too hard

I am very new to scripts, I didn't get what you mean.

I was thinking a line like this array('rar', 'multipart/x-rar', 'Compressed Rar File') may help, but it didn't work

[sdi126]

It doesn't work because multipart/x-rar is not a valid "MIME" type.

 

I think it should be "application/x-rar-compressed"

 

I was just saying on the upload code to print out what it is so you know for sure

array('zip', 'application/zip', 'Compressed Zip File') is also not working. File does not appear to be a supported type (application/octet-stream). Please try another format.

I mean array('rar', 'application/x-rar-compressed', 'Compressed Rar File'), it's also not working. Can anyone tell me how to .rar files.

PLEASE
