File Upload Validation

[chads2k2]

Hey whats up? Ok here is my situation. I have a code that is simple and it works. 🙂

move_uploaded_file ($photo_1, "./upload/".$photo_1_name);
move_uploaded_file ($photo_2, "./upload/".$photo_2_name);
move_uploaded_file ($photo_3, "./upload/".$photo_3_name);
move_uploaded_file ($photo_4, "./upload/".$photo_4_name);
move_uploaded_file ($photo_5, "./upload/".$photo_5_name);
move_uploaded_file ($photo_6, "./upload/".$photo_6_name);

Now... how do I get it so I can be picky on what goes in I only want .gif's .jpg and .jpeg's to go in. I have seen the File Uploads tutorial on this site but I don't know how to use it. I am very new to the whole file upload thing. Please help me out. Thank you.

u can ask for the $file_type of each picture like:
if ($file_type == "image/gif" ||
$file_type == "image/jpeg" ||
$file_type == "image/pjpeg")
--> upload

So a sample of this would be::

<?php
if ($file_type == "image/gif" || $file_type == "image/jpeg" || $file_type == "image/pjpeg"){
move_uploaded_file ($photo_1, "./upload/".$photo_1_name);
}
?>

Would that work? Thank you very much and have a great day!
