checking file extension

[graziano]

Hello

I use following html code to send a file upload to a php script

<form action="doupload_check.php" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST">
<input type="file" name="file1" >
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

I am trying to write some code on doupload_check.php to verify that the file ($file1) contains the extension .tar.gz but my ereg doesn't work with the using ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" and method post .

Any idea ? thank you

Not with the bit of code you've given.

(Although I'd've just checked to see if substr($_FILES['file1']['name'],-7)=='.tar.gz' and not wasted time with ereg.)

thanks however ..

if (substr($_FILES['file1']['name'],-7)=='.tar.gz') ...

doesn't work fine to recognize .tar.gz using the html code above .

But the HTML is not the problem. Like I said, "not with the bit of code you've given.".
