You can create an array of acceptable file types and run a function if the file type is in array- accept, if not- fail.

is there any other way beause i suck at arrays

My suggestion to you -- learn to not suck at arrays. Work with arrays until your eyes bleed. Aside from the fact that arrays are a very fundamental piece of PHP, if you are going to program in a language, you should learn to use any and all of its available functionality. To not do so is selling yourself short.

i know the basics of them and stuff but i dont know how to them in my code i got right now 🙁

suntra

function Vrf_TFc($type) {
     $isok = false;
     type = strtolower(4type); // converts all characters to lower case (A => a, B => b, b => b, ...)
     $accepted_file_types = array("image/gif", "image/png", "image/jpeg"); // etc...
     for($i = 0; $i < count($accepted_file_types); $i++) {
          $current_type = strtolower($accepted_file_type[$i]); // converts $accepted_file_types[$i] to lower case and stores it in $current_type
          if($type == $current_type) {
               $isok = true;
               break;
          }
     }
     return $isok;
}

Just call Vrf_TFc($_FILES['blah']['type']). It will return true if ok, false if not.

A small mistake...

type = strtolower(4type); // converts all characters to lower case (A => a, B => b, b => b, ...)

Should be

$type = strtolower(4type); // converts all characters to lower case (A => a, B => b, b => b, ...)

I forgot the $... !

thanks anyway i just got it to work

$type1 = "image/gif";
$type2 = "image/jpg";
$type3 = "image/png";
$type4 = "image/pjpeg";

if (($image1_type == $type1) or ($image1_type == $type2) or ($image1_type == $type3) or ($image1_type == $type4))

Well, your last code is not very useful... if you want to add one file type, you have to add a variable and to add a condition in the if()... !
