Simple if cond not working

[BLottman]

The following code segment isn't working and I'm not sure why.

I've tried a few different versions and I've read the manual covering $FILES var but still no reason for it not to work. I'm also displaying the $Files array elements and the specific element for file type indicates that it's "image/pjpeg".

My goal is to only accept .jpg images for this particular aspect and I'm not sure if the following code snippet is a good way to go about it.

if ($_Files['uploaded_file_a']['type'] == "image/pjpeg")
{
process the files uploaded.....
}
else
{
echo "Wrong file type - upload only .jpg images";
}

I'm probably just overlooking something simple but I've been at this for a couple of hours now.

I usually do it like

if ($filename_type != "image/pjpeg") {
   echo "Wrong file type - upload only .jpg images"; 
} else {
   echo "Process Upload";
}

Register globals needs to be on for this to work. If you have it off, you can also try

if ($_FILES['filename']['type'] != "image/pjpeg") {
   echo "Wrong file type - upload only .jpg images"; 
} else {
   echo "Process upload";
}

Be sure to change filename to whatever filename you're using. I'm not sure if all the underscores make a diff, for example:

$uploaded_file_a_type looks weird to me, but it should still work. I'd just prefer to name them upload1, upload2, or file1, file2, etc

$FILES should be all uppercase, not $Files
