[GiLL]

Do you want something like this ?

<?
if (!isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
     
     
          include('html/upload.phtml');     //form to upload
     
     
          exit;
     
     }
     
$this_file = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];     //gets the path to the directory holding the uploaded file

$type = mime_content_type($this_file);     //error here

echo "<html>$type</html>";

exit;

?>

or

Does $this_file really contain a valid file?

Do a ...


if (file_exists($this_file))
 {
 echo "File $this_file exists.";
 }
else
 {
 echo "File $this_file does NOT exist!";
 } 

[something else]

maybee external size and type ?

///$file = "http://somesite.com/files/music.mp3";////example file
$something = get_headers($file, 1);
$size = $something['Content-Length'];
$type = $something['Content-Type'];
echo "<a href=\"$file\">music.$type</a> $size bytes
";

function getextimg($ext)
{
    $ext = strtolower($ext);
    switch ($ext)
    {
      case "jar":
      case "jad":
        return "<img src=\"images/games.gif\" alt=\"igre\"/>";
        break;
      case "jpg":
      case "jpeg":
      case "gif":
      case "png":
      case "bmp":
        return "<img src=\"images/image.gif\" alt=\"image\"/>";
        break;
      case "zip":
      case "rar":
        return "<img src=\"images/pack.gif\" alt=\"package\"/>";
        break;
      case "amr":
      case "wav":
      case "mp3":
      case "mid":
        return "<img src=\"images/music.gif\" alt=\"music\"/>";
        break;
      case "mpg":
      case "3gp":
      case "mp4":
        return "<img src=\"images/video.gif\" alt=\"video\"/>";
        break;
      default:
        return "<img src=\"images/other.gif\" alt=\"!\"/>";
        break;
    }
}

      default:
        return "<img src=\"images/other.gif\" alt=\"!\"/>";
        break;
    }
} 

thats definately incompelete which cant get file extention from a file

[subzero]

function findexts($file) 
{ 
$ufile = strtolower($file) ; 
$exts = split("[/\\.]", $file) ; 
$n = count($exts)-1; 
$exts = $exts[$n]; 
return $exts; 
}

How to use

echo findexts( You file name goes here );

:D

lol you're right

its missing

function getext($strfnm)
{
  $str = trim($strfnm);
  if (strlen($str)<4){
    return $str;
  }
  for($i=strlen($str);$i>0;$i--)
  {
    $ext .= substr($str,$i,1);
    if(strlen($ext)==3)
    {
      $ext = strrev($ext);
      return $ext;
    }
  }
}

----------------------------------------------------------
As I understand ur problem, I made this one.
NOTE: You can use own variable where I write ['myfile'], it depand on what variable you defined for uploading file.
Like : <input type="file" name="myfile" />

 $file_name = $_FILES['myfile']['name'];//Return File Name
 $file_type = $_FILES["myfile"]["type"];//Return File Type
 $file_size = ceil($_FILES["myfile"]["size"] / 1024); //Return File Size in KB
 $file_ext = substr($file_name, -3);//Return File extension
 /*Now you can send these info into your database when user upload any file*/

Sorry if you could not understand my english lol

[tkreturns]

U want to detect the file ??? I mean detect its size, extension(format) ?
