Problem determining file type in $_FILE

[murdocsvan]

This is my code:

 

//Manage image upload and put into directory: 
if(($_FILES["image"]["type"] == "image/jpg") || 
($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg"))
{
if ($_FILES["image"]["error"] > 0)
{
	echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["image"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
	if(file_exists("../images/" . $_FILES['image']['name']))
	{
		echo 'Error: File already exists';
	}
	else
	{
		move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"],  
		"../images/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"]);
		echo "Stored in: " . "../images/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"];
	}
}
}
else
{
echo 'Invalid file type';
}

 

When i upload a file using a form, that's the right file type, it always returns invalid file type.

 

I think the problem is with;

 

if(($_FILES["image"]["type"] == "image/jpg") || 
($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg"))

Well part of the problem could be that you are using "file" in the second part of the if / or statement instead of "image".

 

To make sure the value is what it should be echo it out for debugging, as PHP is case sensitive and that could be a potential issue too.

Hey thanks that helped

 

But now i think there's a problem with my hosting. i got the following error:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(214047) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [LOCATION OF MY SCRIPT ON THE SERVER] on line 34

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'D:\Temp\php\php7C77.tmp' to '214047' in [LOCATION OF MY SCRIPT ON THE SERVER] on line 34

 

I'm guessing this has something to do with my hosting? I'm calling them atm to see if they can resolve it, because it doesn't look like an error with the PHP to me.

Well it turned out Godaddy don't allow anyone to access the tmp PHP directory, but thanks for your help anyway.
