file upload mac os x fine, windows xp not ???

Hi,

I've written a simple CMS for a site I'm working on and I thought everything was working ok until I tested it on a pc.

I always get the same error on the pc which is something I wrote so that only normal jpg's would be uploaded, not progressive jpgs (this is because the site has a flash front end and flash can't load in progressive jpg's dynamically).

I added some more error checking in the php file, and a very strange thing is occuring. I have tried uploading the EXACT same jpg from both my mac and pc, on the mac it uploads fine, resizes etc etc but on the pc it doesn't and in my error message it says that the file is a 'image/pjpeg' ???? Does a pc think a normal jpg is a prgressive jpg ??? How can the jpg change file types ???? this is really weird!

If you need any more info please just ask.

Thanks,

Jon

pjpeg = progressive jpeg. I had this problem on PC - not on mac - allowed file types were gif + png + jpg + jpeg - I just added pjpeg to the file type allowed list and it was fine. HTH.

it's good to know it's not just me!

That's how I solved it as well, but it's not ideal because of Flash's inability to load pjegs dynamically.

thanks,

I dont think it actually uploads then as pjegs's, I think its just that windows thinks that uploaded jpg files are pjpeg. I'm going to look into it to find out why as at the moment I am just guessing.
