PHP + Allow Upload JPG Files

votes

I have some php code checking the type of files that users upload:

  $fileType = $_FILES['file']['type'];
  $allowedFileTypes = array('image/jpeg','image/gif','image/png','image/jpg');
  if(!in_array($fileType, $allowedFileTypes)) {echo 'fileTypeNotAllowed'; exit;}

I find gif & png files upload without triggering the echo but jpg files trigger the echo.

below is an example of a file that triggers the echo:

Any advise on what I'm doing wrong here?

thx

echo $fileType when uploading the jpeg see what it says – Kyle Hudson
Maybe your code won't allow beach photos – Tchoupi
What does $fileType contains? echo 'fileTypeNotAllowed: '.$fileType; – Green Black
Try using !in_array(strtolower($fileType, $allowedFileTypes)). in_array is case sensitive. – Baylor Rae'
yes it was the beach... lol... got it working strtolower fixed it and I've also added the extra file types... used the echo fileType to see the problem. thankyou so much... – Adam

Well, you want to check what they are uploading... So I would use !in_array(strtlower($fileType, $allowedFileTypes)) in_array.

That should clear everything up.
