Re: filtering filename.ext on file-upload.

try this, it works for me: if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] != "image/pjpeg") { print("File must be a .jpg. File will not be accepted; please choose a .jpg picture or convert the picture to .jpg format."); unlink($filename); // This will remove the temporary file so we don't have to deal with it anymore. } move_uploaded_file($filename, $newfilename); -- a little different approach... it says if it is not a jpg, do not upload it, otherwise upload it....
