note 87223 added to reserved.variables.files

Structure of $_FILES: Array ( [file] => Array ( [name] => [type] => [tmp_name] => [error] => [size] => ) ) name will contain name of file uploaded type - filetype like application/x-shockwave-flash or image/png (it's file mime type I guess) tmp_name - path to file in temp directory error - 0=no error 1=error size - file size in bytes. How to check if the file is of given type? (here: check if it's .swf or .jpg) Create array and check if $_FILES contains given type. $types = array('application/x-shockwave-flash','image/jpeg'); $file = $_FILES['file']['type']; if (!in_array($file,$types)) ---- Server IP: 82.160.94.10 Probable Submitter: 87.105.8.63 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87223 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87223 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87223 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
