RE: [PHP-DB] Restricting mime type in file uploads?

Dave: Using the field name for the 'file' HTML input type, PHP allows you to add an underscore to the end of that fieldname to access the file type and size: For example: <input type='file' name'userfile' /> Once submitted in a form: $userfile: This is obviousely the uploaded file's name. $userfile_type: this is the MIME type for this uploaded file. $userfile_size: this is the filesize in bytes (check manual) of the uploaded file Check out: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types for further info on MIME and MEDIA Types HTH :-) Russ -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carrera [mailto:dave@davecarrera.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 3:20 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Restricting mime type in file uploads? Hi All I have a working ap to allow clients to upload their images to a server & then I write the path to a MySql db for retrieval later. But I have been asked if we can control the mime type to only accept JPG's and nothing else. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere so I humbly ask for your help or guidance. Thank you in advance Dave C
