PHP File Upload

[matlyn]

I have the following code in my php file that handles a user photo from a HTML upload page.  I am using the code below to see if they are attempting to upload a file other than a jpg file:

 

...

 

$userfile_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];

     

// Check to see if uploaded image is a jpg

if($userfile_type != "image/pjpeg"){

                ...etc

 

I have had many users upload jpg files without a problem but some users will fail this test (i.e. the file they are uploading is not recognized as a jpg file).  However, if they email me the jpg photo and I upload the exact same file, no problem.

 

This makes me think that it is a browser problem.  I am using IE7.  Do you think that the browser is the place to look for my users problems or what?

Yes. IE6, Fx and other browsers report other types. jpg can also be image/jpg or image/jpeg

You should put in these:

 

$userfile_type = $_FILES['image']['type'];

   

    // Check to see if uploaded image is a jpg

    if($userfile_type != "image/pjpeg" || $userfile_type != "image/jpeg" || $userfile_type != "image/jpg"){

                ...etc

 

or make a javascript which checks the browser and tell the user that he or she have to install IE7 to be able to upload images.

Thanks.  That's exactly what I needed to know!
