multi file types upload

[NickLindeman]

I was wondering how I could make it so there is a limit on multiple file types when uploading an image.

elseif ($_FILES['file']['type'] != 'image/gif')
{
echo "Your file must be an image.";
}

is what I am currently using but I want it to be able to upload .jpg and .png file types as well.

Thank you for your help.

So make an array of "allowed" types:

$allowed = array('image/gif', 'image/jpg', 'image/png');

Then just see if the type is in the array:

if(!in_array($_FILES['file']['type'], $allowed))

And you can make it as robust as you'd like:

$allowed = array('Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)'=>'image/gif', 'Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG)'=>'image/jpg', 'Portable Networks Graphic (PNG)'=>'image/png');

if(!in_array($_FILES['file']['type'], $allowed))
{
    echo '<h3>File Type Error!!</h3>
<p>Please only utilize one of the following formats:</p>
<ul>';

foreach($allowed as $name=>$mime)
{
    echo '<li>'  . $name . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}

Worked perfectly!

More robust still is to look at the image file itself and determine its type, instead of relying on the MIME information sent by the browser. [man]getimagesize[/man] can do this for you.
