Good Day,



I'm having an issue with IE8, when I go to load a file the
program is not filling the $_FILES['user_file']['type'] .

When I display "echo "Start".$_FILES['pix']['type']."End";"
in IE8 I get "StartEnd" with nothing in between. I expected "image/pjpeg".

On FireFox I get "image/jpeg".

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
...../Ernie

What do the other $_FILES fields say? Are they populated correctly?

I wouldn't rely on anything sent from the browser. IE is known to send
the mime type that matches the extension, not the contents of the file,
and for .jpg images it sends a different mime to every other browser
anyway, so it's pretty unreliable.

But you won't be able to guarantee every IE8 user will do this, so you
shouldn't develop the app in such a way that it needs to use the value
in the array. Also, as I've said, there isn't much point relying on this
value for any reason anyway, as it doesn't guarantee the file is
actually of that type.

With IE8,

Using $_FILES the array results for â€=98nameâ€=99 has =
the name of the file but â€=98typeâ€=99, =
â€=98tmp_nameâ€=99 and â€=98sizeâ€=99 are blanks.

I tried enabling the â€=9Cfile path locationâ€=9D in IE8 =
option but the results are the same for $_FILES.=20

Firefox works displays all the values in the $_FILES array.

There must be a better way. Suggestions?

Don't use the value. There are a few different ways in PHP to get the
mime type of a file, which it does based on the contents of the file and
not its extension. This prevents someone from uploading an executable
virus for example by just changing the last three letters of the
filename.

Have a look at fileinfo() for this sort of thing.
