[Resolved] File types and PHP

[zzz]

I'm working ona script to upload the files to my site. Currently it works fine with the following file types:

text/plain
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/png

I tried the following but I get gibberish on the screen:

application/pdf
application/msword
application/wordperfect

Does it have any thing to do with the file types that PHP recognizes?

Any known work around this?

This one is a tempting target for "LHTD" ...

What does "I tried the following but I get gibberish on the screen" mean, exactly? Perhaps "I opened a pdf with a web browser and saw source code?"

😕

I actually found a work around this problem. My script was attempting to open file along with just uploading it. Since I only need it to be uploaded, everything works fine now.
