Strange Problem with IE - Photo Uploader


Skipjackrick

Recommended Posts

I've got a photo upload script where I verify the file type.  For some reason it sends me to my error message when I upload the correct file using IE.  It works fine in Firefox.

 

Any clues?

 

Maybe you guys have a better way of verifying file type.  But I only want jpg files.

 

<?php
// name of the fieldname used for the file in the HTML form
$fieldname = 'file';

// Now let's deal with the upload

// possible PHP upload errors
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg"))
{
$errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded', 
                2 => 'html form max file size exceeded', 
                3 => 'file upload was only partial', 
                4 => 'no file was attached');

// check the upload form was actually submitted else print form
isset($_POST['submit'])
or error('the upload form is neaded', $uploadForm);

// check for standard uploading errors
($_FILES[$fieldname]['error'] == 0)
or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname]['error']], $uploadForm);

// check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload
@is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm);


  
// validation... since this is an image upload script we 
// should run a check to make sure the upload is an image
@getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'])
or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm);

// make a unique filename for the uploaded file
$uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$anglerId.'avatar.jpg';


// now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
@move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'], $uploadFilename)
or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm);

$image_name = $anglerId.'avatar.jpg';

$q = "UPDATE anglers SET avatar='$image_name', avatar_active=1 WHERE anglerId=$anglerId";
$s = mysql_query($q, $db);
    
//if an error
echo(mysql_error()); 


// If you got this far, everything has worked and the file has been successfully saved.
// We are now going to redirect the client to the success page.
header('Location: ' . $uploadSuccess);

} else {

header("Refresh: 5; URL=addaprofile_photos.php");
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"'."\n".
'"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">'."\n\n".
'<html lang="en">'."\n".
'	<head>'."\n".
'		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">'."\n\n".
'		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">'."\n\n".
'	<title>Upload error</title>'."\n\n".
'	</head>'."\n\n".
'	<body>'."\n\n".
'	<div id="Upload">'."\n\n".
'		<h1>Apologies, but only JPG Files are accepted.</h1>'."\n\n".
'	 	<p>The upload form will reload in 5 seconds</p>'."\n\n".
'	 </div>'."\n\n".
'</html>';
exit;
       }
?>

Well it turns out that if you allow "image/pjpeg" OR "image/jpeg" it will work in both FF and IE.

 

Here is how I got it working.

 

<?php

// verify image type
if (!($_FILES['file']['type'] == 'image/jpeg' OR $_FILES['file']['type'] == 'image/pjpeg' ))
{ echo "You have encountered an error";
}
?>
