hi,
I have form where administrator has toupload csv file to update dome
data in mysql.
I was trying to validate entered file but got some crazy stuff I don't
understand:
for the same uploaded csv file, in different browser I'll get different
results:
Windows machine and IE: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] = 'text/plain'
Windows machine and Firefox: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] =
'application/octet-stream'
Windows machine and Opera: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] =
'comma-separated-values'
Windows machine and Chrome: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] = ''
(doesn't show anything! empty?!?!!??)
openSuse machine and Firefox: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] = 'text/csv'
openSuse machine and Opera: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] =
'text/comma-separated-values'
openSuse machine and Konqueror: $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type'] = 'text/csv'
ok. what's CORRECT way to validate uploaded file?
thanks.

Get the mime type of the uploaded tmp file, no what the browser sends.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mime_content_type() in /srv/www/...
it looks like Mimetype is not installed on my server
:-)
Do you have fileinfo? It's a php5 pecl extension. Aside from that
I'm not really sure. This is how I always test files since browser
mime type is unreliable/spoofable.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /srv/www/...
no luck
:-)
If you don't have access to the functions, you could try reading the
first line of the file to determine it's in the right format.
could you please be more specific?
I don't remember I ever saw file type when I was opening csv or txt or
doc file?
