Smudly Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Hi, I'm creating an upload section that limits users to upload the following file types: .pdf .zip .rar .doc .jpeg .gif When getting the type for .pdf files, it comes up as: application/force-download and for .rar files it comes up as: application/x-download If I do a check that says: if ($type=="application/force-download" || $type=="application/x-download") then will users only be able to upload .PDF and .RAR files? I'm assuming these two types will allow other formats as well. If this is the case, how can I check the extension of the file before the user is able to upload it. I was thinking of somehow capturing the last 3 letters of the filename, and then doing the check that way, except I'm not sure how to go about this. Any insight appreciated!

JasonLewis Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Take a look at pathinfo, and the option PATHINFO_EXTENSION. Good luck. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/210033-checking-if-file-is-pdf/#findComment-1096184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
