upload mime type (non-image) checker

[drumhrd]

hello all you wonderful php freaks.

 

I am trying to setup an uploader.  Content will be mp3.

 

I am trying to get the mime type of the uploaded files in the form but I cannot seem to get it to work.

 

$mime_type = mime_content_type($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name']);

 

this results in an empty variable.

 

I know php has that wonderful little function called getimagesize

 

$imageinfo = getimagesize($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name']);

 

which results in a $imageinfo['mime'].  But of course I cannot use it on mp3 files. 

 

just trying to get some simular functionality.

 

Thanks

I use apache_lookup_uri(), though for some reason it only seems to work on some servers, I haven't yet figured out why!

I checked the php site for apache_lookup_uri() and don't see mime type listed as an object returned by this function.

 

 

When user uploads a file..I need to check the mime type for

 

audio/mpeg3 || audio/x-mpeg-3

 

I cannot figure out how to go about getting the mime type from the user uploaded file so I can check it before it is processed by move_uploaded_file

It is in the property content_type, but is the same as mime type.

this is getting just what's passed in the http headers right...I want what's actually in the file header.  I can manipulate the http headers with what ever mime type I want..this is not secure.

[jon23d]

No, that is not the case.  Did you read the manual?  This has absolutely nothing to do with http headers...
