Upload images mime problems

Hey guys, i have an upload script in my administration area and as a safety precaution i want to restrict files that can be uploaded.

anyways here is my source


  if ($picture1_type != 'image/gif')
  {
  echo 'Problem: File must be an image';
  exit;
  }

When i try to upload jpeg/jpg or png files it will not let me 🙁

also when i chose to upload nothing, it says "File must be an image" i presume this is because of my mime restrictions.

Is there a way so it is possible to upload jpegs pngs etc and also have the option of uploading nothing at all?

You say :

if the sun not shine go home.

that's all... you have to tell the script what to do in case of sunshine, snow...

if (in_array($picture1_type, array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png')) //...

thankyou for your help 🙂

if (in_array($picture1_type, array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png')) //...
{
echo 'Problem: File is not an image';
}

but i tried using your array and i get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in line....

i also tried to incorperate image/jpeg etc into my original code but would not work :*(

that should read

if (!in_array($picture1_type, array('image/gif', 'image/jpeg', 'image/png')))
