note 33358 added to features.file-upload

Save yourself and your server the trouble of uploading an invalid file type...Throw an error on the client-side using JavaScript (most people have it enabled). Example: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function checkForm(thisform){ if(thisform.file.value == "" || thisform.file.value == null) { alert("Please select a file to upload"); thisform.file.focus(); thisform.file.select(); return false; } else { validformFile = /(.jpg|.JPG|.gif|.GIF)$/; if(!validformFile.test(thisform.file.value)){ alert("Only PDF files are supported. Please try again"); thisform.file.focus(); thisform.file.select(); return false; } } return true; } //--> </script> <form name="newform" action="_URL_" method="post" onSubmit="return checkForm(this)" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000"> ... </form> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33358 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33358&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33358&report=yes
