Hello all,

I am back again to question you PHP wizards. My PHP is slowly coming along however i fear it may be my HTML at fault this time.

I have an image upload script, with code as below, which performs a few simple checks and then save the image:

PHP Code:

  $ext = substr(basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']), strrpos(basename( $_FILES['upfile']['name']), '.') + 1);



  if(($ext == "jpg") && ($_FILES["upfile"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")) {

    $clean = true ;

  }

      

  elseif(($ext == "png") && ($_FILES["upfile"]["type"] == "image/png")) {

    $clean = true ;

  }



  elseif(($ext == "gif") && ($_FILES["upfile"]["type"] == "image/gif")) {

    $clean = true ;

  }



  else {

     $clean = false ;

    //not an acceptable file type

  }



  if($clean == true) {

    //more checks

    //save image

  } 

and a HTML form to input the data:

PHP Code:

<form action="{FULL_URL}/account.php?content=upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" class="style1" id="form1">

  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="999999999" />

  <input name="upfile" type="file" size="55" />

</form> 

Now this seems to work fine in Firefox 3 however not in IE7. The image is not uploded as the uploaded file (eg. example.png) does not meet one of the first three 'if' statments and is therefore accepted by the 'else { $clean = false ;...'

Now as PHP is server side i cant see how it could be the PHP to fault, or is it?

Thank you for your time

Echo $_FILES["upfile"]["type"] to see what it actually contains.

You can also echo the entire $_FILES array to see what it contains -

PHP Code:

echo "<pre>";

print_r($_FILES);

echo "</pre>";

Well isnt that a nifty little function. That solved my problem straight away. IE7 uses:

PHP Code:

$ie7_jpeg = $_FILES["upfile"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg"

$ie7_png = $_FILES["upfile"]["type"] == "image/x-png" 

print_r() helped me solve 2 other problems i had. I wish i had read up on it when i saw it on php.net

Thanks mab!
