[SOLVED] Error uploading pictures with IE, works with FF

[kickoutbettman]

Hi all,

 

I'm having an issue with IE vs Firefox.

I have a little simple script to upload pictures. Works fine in FF but it failed with IE7.

 

Here's a part of my code, but it looks like this line cause the error. Anybody can help me with this, let me know if you need any other info.

 

Thanks

 

if (!($_FILES['uploaded']['type'] =="image/jpeg" OR $_FILES['uploaded']['type']=="image/gif")){echo "Your uploaded file must be of JPG or GIF. Other file types are not allowed<BR/>";
exit;}

When a test/comparison fails for user supplied data, echo out the actual value that is failing so that you know what it is. IE provides some different mime types than other browsers.

In fact it's an "image/pjpeg"

 

Is there any different procedure to upload one of thoses ?

Hi kickoutbettman,

 

That is the problem, Internet Explorer reads JPEG files differently to Firefox.  Change your code to:

 

if (!($_FILES['uploaded']['type'] =="image/jpeg" OR $_FILES['uploaded']['type'] =="image/pjpeg" OR $_FILES['uploaded']['type']=="image/gif")){echo "Your uploaded file must be of JPG or GIF. Other file types are not allowed<BR/>";
exit;}

 

Hope this helps.

The problem lies in the browser, because php doesn't handle file mime types, the mime is browser specific, one solution to this problem is to manually check the filename for the correct extensions,

 

<?php
if (!eregi(".jpg",$_FILES['uploaded']['filename']) OR !eregi(".gif",$_FILES['uploaded']['filename'])){echo "Your uploaded file must be of JPG or GIF. Other file types are not allowed<BR/>";
   exit;}

?>

Google has results for image/pjpeg problems.  Gotta give your thanks to the geniuses at Microsoft.  :-\
