note 50068 added to features.file-upload

When using the super $_FILES, it's important to note when checking for the type of image file using $_FILE['image'] ['type']; you define as many image types as you can. I knew my code was flawless but it still wouldn't upload a simple JPEG image and later found there are many types of JPEG definitions; not just 'image/jpeg'. But also 'image/pjpeg' Case in point, I was coded something to the effect of the following to allow users to upload images to my site: switch($_POST['image']; { $filetype = $_FILES['image'] ['type']; $mimestring = substr($filetype, 0, 10); switch($mimestring) { case 'image/jpeg': include 'local/family/scripts/upload.php'; break; case 'image/gif': include 'local/family/scripts/upload.php'; break; case 'image/png': include 'local/family/scripts/upload.php'; default: default: die("File Must be of JPEG, GIF, PNG or BMP Image Type<br> Please <a href='local/family/family_zone.ph p'>TRY AGAIN</a>"); } } ?> This should check for any and all jpeg images, right? Wrong! There are also image types of 'image/pjpeg', and PNG image types of 'image/x-png'...etc, etc. Hope this helps!
