being redirected everytime

[garydt]

When the user uploads an image the script checks to see if its a jpeg. If it isn't it will redirect to another page but its redirecting regardless of the image being a jpeg or not.

$chktype = $_FILES['file']['type'];
if ($chktype!='jpeg' or $chktype!='JPEG') {
     header("Location: regform2.php");
 exit;
}

echo the chktype to see what its giving

[garydt]

$chktype is givng  image/pjpeg

is that right?

You can also use the function getimagesize()

 

Example:

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($_FILES["file_image"]["tmp_name"]);

 

Then check whether the $type == 2 or Not . If it is 2 the image is JPG or JPEG.

i dont think that is right seeing as image/pjpeg does not equal JPEG or jpeg

 

<?php

$text1 = "image/pjpeg";
$text2 = "JPEG";
$text3 = "jpeg";

if($text1 != $text2 or $text != $text3)
{
//redirect
} else
{
// your stuff
}

?>

Thanks

i put-

 $fieldname = $_FILES['file'];
list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($fieldname);

and i get-

Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\epeople\editphoto.php on line 42

I think, there is an error in your code for checking the Image name.. Please go through the site and understand the file uploading.

 

Please go through this lines of code.

 

here "file_image" is the name of the image field.

 

if($_FILES["file_image"]["name"])

{

$arr  = getimagesize($_FILES["file_image"]["tmp_name"]);

 

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($_FILES["file_image"]["tmp_name"]);

if($type == FALSE)

{

header("Location:test.php?status=This is not an Image");

exit();

 

}

                elseif($type != 2)

                {

 

header("Location:test.php?status=This is not an JPG or JPEG Image");

        exit();

 

}

 

     

}
