@NogDogJan 19.2006 — #Something like:
Upload Zip Files
Hi,
I have the following code
$max_file_size = ‘500000’;
$valid_file_type = “application/zip”;
$this_file_size = $_FILES[‘userfile’][‘size’];
$this_file_type = $
if ($max_file_size >= $this_file_size && $valid_file_type == $this_file_type)
etc..
However, when i upload a zip file about 150kb which should be accepted, i’m given the error message that the file is not in zip format.
Anything wrong with the above?

The mime type of the file, [color=red]if the browser provided this information[/color]. An example would be "image/gif". This mime type is however not checked on the PHP side and therefore [color=red]don't take its value for granted[/color].[/quote]
You might have to explode the file name on "." and see if the last part is "zip".

@NogDogJan 19.2006 — #Something like:[code=php]
function get_suffix($filename)
{
$suffix = ""; // initialize to no suffix
$parts = explode(".", $filename);
if(count($parts) > 0) // there is a suffix
{
$suffix = strtolower(array_pop($parts)); // last array element in lower-case
}
return($suffix)
}
// USAGE
$type = get_suffix($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
if($type == "zip")
{
// it's a zip file
}
[/code]
