file upload

[zetcoby]

hello, i have a small problem with my file upload script, for some reason the file size or and the file extensions conditions wont work, and i don`t know why,

everything else works fine, if i wanna upload a file that has the right size it will upload, or if i upload a php file this one will upload too, i dont know why the condition wont kick in

if (isset($_FILES['file'])){

				 $target = "../../uploads/"; 
				 $rand = rand(1, 9999);
				 $target = $target . $rand . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']) ; 
				 $file_size = $_FILES['file']['size'];
				 $file_ext = strtolower(end(explode('.', $_FILES['file']['name'])));
				 if ($file_size >= 12000000) {
				 	header("Location: ../files/post?error=2&cid=".$cid);
				 }
				 if ($file_ext == 'php') {
				 	header("Location: ../files/post?error=3&cid=".$cid);
				 }
				move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target);
			}

i found the problem, it seems that the header function needs time to execute so all i had to do was to insert a die function after each header,

The header() statement only sends a http header to the browser. It's the browser that requests the new URL. Your php code continues to run. The die statement stops your php code from running at that point.
