[SOLVED] Yet another script that works in Firefox and not IE

[bluedaniel]

This is an picture upload script that works in Firefox but not IE.

 

Im only uploading a part of the script that I think is the culprit, if you need to see more I will oblige

 

The error in IE is "Im sorry you can only upload a JPG which is under 1MB in size" which is outputted at the end of the script.

 

<?php
  if (isset($_POST['upload'])) {
      if (isset($_FILES['uploaded_pic'])) {
          $id = $_POST['recipeID'];
          $filename = basename($_FILES['uploaded_pic']['tmp_name']);
          $ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1);
          if (($_FILES["uploaded_pic"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") && ($_FILES["uploaded_pic"]["size"] < 1000000)) {

                    //Code not uploaded

              } else {
              $message = "Im sorry you can only upload a JPG which is under 1MB in size.";
          }
      }
  }
?>

 

any ideas?

When a comparison fails, examine what the actual value is that failed. Echo out $_FILES["uploaded_pic"]["type"] to find what IE puts in it for the file type (different browsers send different mime types for the same file.)

oh man how much easier would our lives be with one browser!!!

 

your right IE is image/pjpeg while Firefox image/jpeg, and one does not satisfy both browsers, how should my code look then?

The best way is to create an array of acceptable values and use in_array to test if a value is in that array.

excellent! Thank you so much.

 

Working (and now universal!) code:

 

$filetype = $_FILES["uploaded_pic"]["type"];
	  $acceptablefiletypes = array("image/pjpeg", "image/jpeg", "image/jpg");
          if (in_array($filetype, $acceptablefiletypes) && ($_FILES["uploaded_pic"]["size"] < 1000000)) {
