Hi everyone,

I am attempting to adopt some code to work more reliably then how it is now...

What I am doing is coding a upload form where people could be uploading .zip files in excess of 200 MB... Yes I know that is large, but it's for a print shop and they get HUGE files to print from.

The code I'm having issues with is this:

$filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension). $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.

All I want to do is grab the file extension and verify that it is a .zip or a .pdf etc. file. This is working for small files (under a few megs) but for some reason it fails when I get bigger. I have increased the allowed memory size to 50 MB's I'm testing with a 44 MB file right now.

When it fails, it says the file type is not allowed even though it is listed in the file type array.

Hopefully I have given you enough to go on to at least ask me some questions :)

Looking at what I think you are trying to do, how about this?

<?php

if ( isset( $_FILES ) ) {

  foreach ( $_FILES AS $file )

    $filename = $file['name'];

    list($ext) = array_reverse(explode('.', $filename));

    $allowed_ext = array('zip', 'pdf');

    if ( in_array($ext, $allowed_ext) ) {
      // Correct extension; do what ever
    } else {
      // Incorrect extension; do nothing
    }

  }

}

?>
