file upload, image typ check not working please help!

Paul_Ferrie

I have been having problems with this for some time

$types_array = array("image/gif","image/jpeg","image/pjpeg","image/jpg","image/x-png");
//Check file against array	
	if (!in_array($_FILES['userfile']['type'], $types_array)) {
//Return error if file typ dosnt match array	
   	header("Location: addImage.php?error=That file type is not allowed!"); 
	exit;
	}

It will only allow me to upload gif format. i get file type not allowed for jpg files and png files 🙁. Does any one have an idea why this is not working.

Cheers
Paul

Probably some server issue, not an issue with your code.

Also try adding the following mimetypes to your array:

image/png
application/png
application/x-png
image/jp_
application/jpg
application/x-jpg
image/pipeg
image/vnd.swiftview-jpeg
image/x-xbitmap

Thanks but still no joy 🙁 🙁
This one has had me stumped for ages 🙁
All i want is to be able to upload non-progressive jpg's for a flash gallery.

echo $_FILES['userfile']['type'];

If i try to upload a jpg or png the echo is returned as empty "no file"

But all is correct if i use any other file.
