Upload not working well in Mozilla

[robert_gsfame]

i allow users to upload their document * doc format and stored inside folder

and i've put some limitation that document other than * doc format cannot be uploaded using this script

 

$filetype=$_FILES['file']['type'];

if($filetype!='application/msword'){

echo "doc* format only";}else{

COPY FILES INTO FOLDER

 

but the problem is that when i try to upload the * doc format file, "doc* format only" appear and file not copied into the folder

 

This just happened in MOZILLA browser ! but it works well in IE 6.0

 

What is wrong with the code, can anyone give some solution regarding this problem??

Different browsers sometimes use different MIME types. Echo out $_FILES['file']['type'] when uploading a document that you know to be valid. Then see where to go from there. You should see that it isn't applicatoin/msword so you can just check if it's equal to application/msword || 'whatever'. This is one of the reasons it's important to test your code on as many different browsers as possible.
