Accepting Uploaded Files

[prcollin]

I know the script for uploading and managing uploaded files but how do i specify the file types that are accepted so I can avoid .exe scripts from being uploaded that will mess with my site. 

 

I only want graphics, videos, and txt files and pdf

$_FILES['userfile']['type'] is how you get the type then do like if

 

if($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != image/pjpeg)

{

//Bad file type delete it or something and echo bad.

}

else

{

//lets say it was a good type.

}

 

 

         'text/html',
