checking file type on upload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i have an upload form which i would only like to allow compressed zip files
and rar files to be uploaded. currently i use

if ($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != 'application/x-zip-compressed')

which only seems to work in IE, doesn't work in mozila (haven't tried
others) what the best way to detect if its a rar or zip file which works in
a better range of browsers? someone gave me a suggestion to check if the
file ends in .rar or .zip but that isn't very secure since anyone would be
able to append it to the filename regardless of the actual file type.

thanks.
