Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /home/tsbweb5/public_html/ecom2/add_pdf.php on line 57

 

Hello and HELP...lol

 

I am trying to upload a pdf file and I get the above fatal error.

PHP version is 5.5.19 which should support the finfo_open function

I used print_r($_FILES) to show the contents(above) and all looks fine

UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE = 128M in phpinfo()

I copied the exact script from the lesson in Chp 5

I am using WEBHOSTINGHUB as my host

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thank-you

 

Tom

the script in question is add_pdf.php

The server at my hosting company does not support this function...I found a work around...Thanks

My apologies for not replying earlier; I kept meaning to get to it but, admittedly, didn't have any obvious explanation off the top of my head. In any case, I'm glad you found out why and thanks for sharing that!

I had the same problem with the undefined function finfo_open() when I tried to upload a pdf. 

 

I'm running XAMPP. To fix it I edited the main php.ini.

 

Remove the comment from the following extension and restart the apache server to enable the fileinfo extension

 

extension=php_fileinfo.dll
