problem getting video 'type'

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

when i do a test upload of 2 files: avi and mov i try to echo out the type using:

 

$video_type = $_FILES['video']['type'];

 

but it's blank, i can echo out the name using:

 

$video = $_FILES['video']['name'];

 

this works ok though, any ideas on why the type would be blank?

 

thanks guys
