error check uploaded filetype

[oaskedal]

Hi!

My code doesn't work properly. It is suppose to ONLY pass through files with the extensions 'pjpg','gif','pjpeg','x-png','png','jpg','jpeg'. Where do I go wrong?

$filenames = $_FILES['image']['type'];
	$filenamear = explode("/",$filenames);
	$exten = $filenamear[1];

$allowed = array('pjpg','gif','pjpeg','x-png','png','jpg','jpeg'); 
if (!in_array($exten,$allowed)) {   // $exten is the variable with the extension 
      $errormessage .= 'You didn't add an imagefile (jpg,gif eller png)<br>'; 
        $fault = true; 
        } 

if($fault) {
	die("<p>$errormessage <br /><br /><strong>Please correct the faults and try again.</strong></p>");


}

You might want to take a look at the [man]pathinfo[/man] function for getting the file name suffix.
