jaymc Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 that link i put up was just an examplebasically if someone created a file on their desktop with the following as the contents of the file <a href=#>click hereAnd then saved that file as a .jpg file. if they then upload it to my site and try view the image, rather than it displaying an image error its parsing the HTML to screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bljepp69 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It's a browser issue. I just created a test file and looked at it in IE, and it behaved how you described. But FF simply displayed the name of the file as it didn't know what to do with it.You could do some error checking to make sure users are uploading only image files. Using getimagesize() is the best/quickest way to validate that it's an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
