mac jpeg's dont get recognized!!

narked

does anybody know how to make a mac (apple) .jpg image get recognized as jpg.

Im running this code:

 if ($GLOBALS[upFile_type] == "image/pjpeg") {
		$sumar = 1;
		} else if ($GLOBALS[upFile_type] == "image/gif") {
		$sumar = 1;
		} else {
		$sumar = 0;		
		}

but it only works on .jpg saved from a pc
any ideas?

Well, this won't fix your problem (don't have a mac to test with (unfortunately), so I've never encountered that problem), but it will fix two others.

if ($GLOBALS[upFile_type] == "image/pjpeg") {

Rather than using $GLOBALS here, just use $FILES. Also, you need to put quotes around array keys if they are associative:

if ($_FILES['upFile']['type'] == 'image/pjpeg') {

well is there a way to check if the file is an image without specifing the type. like forexample:

if($FILES['upFile']['type']=='image')_

or something like that?

Yes; since $_FILES['upFile']['type'] is a string, you can use any of the string functions on it - in particular, to get the bit before the '/' and see if it say "image".

What might be a bit more reliable is [man]getimagesize[/man]. That actually examines the file, and doesn't just believe what the client says about it.

Why is it better ti use the $_files variable instead of $GLOBALS, what are those two other errors that Mordecai talked about?

Look it up in the manual and see.
