I am using php to upload image files.
heres my code ..
<?
if (is_uploaded_file($photo_file))
{
clearstatcache ();
$size = filesize ( $photo_file ) ;
if ( $size > 1024000 )
{
print ("<BR> ERROR - File is too big ! File uploads should be below 1024 k
( 1mb ) <BR>"); exit ;
}
move_uploaded_file($photo_file, "$upload_path$check_nick->nickname");
}
else
{
echo "<BR> ERROR : File upload was not successfull , please try again
!<BR>";
}
?>
------
the problem is that when i look for the original filename ( e.g.
myphoto.gif ) , $photo_file contains a random file name like 383hr93php
As i mentioned , its image files i am uploading , how do i know what type of
image the file was ? like .jpg , .png etc.
Any help appreciatted , i am really stuck on this ;0)
Thanks
