Re: Renaming a file uploaded by a form.

did you compile PHP with --enable-mime-magic? if not, this extension will not work. there are work arounds. one is....a class that resides on phpclasses.org that will give you a mime based on the file extension. and i'm sure there are other ways.... hth jeff "Info@Best-IT" <info To: <Jeffrey_N_Dyke@keane.com>, <php-db@lists.php.net> cc: 01/04/2003 Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Renaming a file uploaded by a form. 12:25 PM Thanks for all your help. I got the file OK and I figured out how to rename it and make it an attachment to an email. But one thing is not working for me. When I look for the mime type I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mime_content_type() When I call it to define a variable: $ftype = mime_content_type($file) Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this? Thanks again!
