MIME Type Upload Problem (New ISP)

[djroki]

Hi All

I've been using the same upload script on a shared server in the past, however I am now trying to configure it with a new ISP and I'm having some problems.

My script is failing on MIME Type verification, due (I think) to something in PHP not passing the related file variables.

i.e.

my form contains <input type="file" name="the_file">

After submission, when I try and print:

$the_file_name
$the_file_type
$the_file_size

I get nothing 🙁

This is before any upload processing and MIME type checking so it's no wonder my script is failing.

Does anyone know what may lie behind this? Could my new ISP have any unusual config which might be affecting this feature?

I'm stumped... please help!

When you upload a file this should be the form tag:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="s_fileupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

In particulary don't forget the enctype!

Excellent, the vital point I was missing.

Well spotted, worked a treat!

thanks a lot, roki
