After reading the documentation in more detail, this should not be server dependant. The browser is responsible for providing MIME type. So this depends on the browser, not the server you're running it on. What I would do is: $e = explode(".", $_FILES['UploadedFile']['name']); // split by '.' $extension = $e[count($e)-1]; // get last chunk if ($extension == "html" || $extension == "htm") { // IT's a html file.. } HTH -Micah On Sunday 21 August 2005 9:41 pm, Yui Hiroaki wrote: > So How can I chage code and detect file type? > > Here is my code; > > ----------index.html-------------------- > <form method="post" action="document.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> > <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="512000"> > <input type="file" name="UploadedFile" style="border: 1px solid; > width:200px; height:20px; position:absolute; > > --------------------------------------------- > > -----------document.php-------------------- > > $original_type = $_FILES['UploadedFile']['type']; > ------------------------------------------- > > > Please teach me how I can detect file type... > > > Regards, > Yui > > Micah Stevens wrote: > > Unix will look at the first few bytes of the file to determine type, and > > does a much better job with the mimetype situation than windows in my > > experience, but to give window's credit, it's not lying, the mimetype for > > HTML is text/html I think.. it IS a text file.. > > > > Windows has traditionally relied on the file extension to determine > > type..
