error message with array

[simcoweb]

I'm doing a simple file upload with some modest validation parameters. I thought I had this down but I get this error message when using this code:

 

// let's do some validation for file type
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
$file_type = array(gif, jpg);
$file_upload = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['type'];
$max_size = "100000";
// create an error message array
$errors = array();
if(!in_array($file_type)) {
$errors[] = "The file type you have attempted to upload is not the proper format. Only .jpg or .gif files are allowed.";
exit;
}
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['size'] > $max_size) {
$errors[] = "The file size is too large. Reduce the number of bytes below $max_size and try again";
exit;
} else {
$target_path = "images/clients/";
// add target path and file name
$target_path = $target_path . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
// get temporary name
$temp_name = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['temp_name'];
// let's move the file to permanent home
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded<br>";
} else {
$errors[] = "Something went wrong with the upload. Please try again.<br> ";
}
// end of else statement
}
// end of if submitted statement
}

?>

 

 

Error message is:

 

Wrong parameter count for in_array()

[phpSensei]

It needs 2 values, one for the string, and one for the array

 

bool in_array  ( mixed $needle  , array $haystack  [, bool $strict  ] )

<?php

$string = "hello";
$list    = array('hello','bye','good morning');

if(in_array($string,$list)){

echo  'Hello is in the array';


}

else
{
echo 'not found in array';
}


?>

 

 

 

Try

 

if(!in_array($file_upload,$file_type)) {
$errors[] = "The file type you have attempted to upload is not the proper format. Only .jpg or .gif files are allowed.";
exit;
}

That god rid of the php error, but the image upload is producing errors:

 

# The file type you have attempted to upload is not the proper format. Only .jpg or .gif files are allowed.

# Something went wrong with the upload. Please try again.

 

Even though i've tried both .gif and .jpg neither uploads. BUT, if I try uploading a .doc file it does upload but still throws the error that only .gif or .jpg files can be uploaded. Totally confused.

When you have a comparison in your code that fails, you need to display what the actual values being compared are so that you can see why the comparison failed.

 

The ['type'] element for .gif and .jpg files can be any of the following -

 

"image/gif", "image/jpeg", "image/pjpeg"
