[File Upload Ch 11 How2 Cad File Types]

You can add file extension types in the control panel of the hosting server so I added for example

Content Type: applicationzip. Bu, as I said this is not the problem. When I used upload_rtf.php, and changed it to:

// Check the file:

if (finfo_file($fileinfo, $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']) == 'application/zip') {

 

it retuned file is acceptable, but when I used upload_image with 'application/zip' in the $allowed array

it didn't work

Thanks. I used the upload_rtf.php as standalone file to test if a file was acceptable and got a positive result, but when I used the script I posted above the file was not uploaded.

I am unsure as to how to check the Mime type via the browser.

I also configured the Mime types in the control panel - it doesn't seem to be a configuration problem.

The comma at the end doesn't seem to have any effect, I removed it anyway, but no success.

I have not ben able to resolve the issue for uploading .dwg file etc. An alternative solution would be to allow for .zip file uploads, but this is proving problematic also..

 

I have used the upload_rtf.php file in chapter 13 to check if .zip file are expectable and get a success message, but the following code allows for .pdf upload but not .zip file: 

 

 

$allowed = array ('application/zip', 'application/pdf', 'application/octet-stream', 'application/DWG', );
  if (in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $allowed)) {

 

Any suggestions gratefully received

Many thanks, will try that and report back - mime type is application/octet-stream

Thanks. I tried all the options but none worked. I don't think it is a browser problem because I can upload these file types using this code:

 

<?php

$uploaddir = 'uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

echo "<p>";

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
  echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
   echo "Upload failed";
}

echo "</p>";
echo '<pre>';
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);
print "</pre>";

?>

 

But it would suit my purposes better to modify script 11.2

Thanks for your help

.

The file names are: 1343939490.dwg  or wel4.dxf. I have been able to upload these files with a different script.

 

I have added 'application/DWG' to the array, but it still doesn't work:

 

$allowed = array ('application/pdf', 'application/DXF','application/dxf', 'application/DWG', 'application/dwg','image/pjpeg', 'image/jpeg', 'image/JPG', 'image/X-PNG', 'image/PNG', 'image/png', 'image/x-png',);
  if (in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $allowed)) {

Chapter 111 script 11.2 works fine for uploading jpegs, pngs etc & when I add 'application/pdf' for pdf files also. But when I add e.g. 'application/DWG' it doesn't work. What is the correct code to upload file types: DXF, IGES, ACIs etc. please?

 

This is my code:

 

$allowed = array ('application/octet-stream', 'application/zip', 'application/pdf', 'application/dxf', 'application/x-autocad', 'application/x-dxf', 'drawing/x-dxf', 'image/vnd.dxf', 'image/x-autocad', 'image/x-dxf', 'zz-application/zz-winassoc-dxf','application/igs','application/sat','image\pjpeg', 'image\jpeg', 'image\JPG', 'image\X-PNG', 'image\PNG', 'image\png', 'image\x-png',);
  if (in_array($_FILES['upload']['type'], $allowed)) {
