[Resolved] Friggin image types not going through

[Kudose]

All I basically need is for it to recognize what the file type/extension is. Using this code I always get the die code.

Here is what I use to input the file

<input type='file' name='file'>

here is a sniplet of my code

$file_type = $_FILES['file']['type'];
$ext = array('.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.bmp'); 
if (!in_array($file_type, $ext)) { 
echo "Error, not a valid file type<br>";
echo "You tried to upload $file_type"; 
exit;
} else {
//do stuff
}

THANKS!

Handling File Uploads
[font=monospace] $_FILES['userfile']['type'][/font]

The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. An example would be "[font=monospace]image/gif[/font]". [/quote]

... which means your array should look like ('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png')... except, png mime types are various and browser-quirky, and the mime type is not always sent, so that isnt a very reliable way of checking the type.

Figured it out myself. I forgot to add enctype='multipart/form-data' to my form info.
