I know I missed something probably simple, but being relatively new to php, I can't seem to spot it. Thanks in advance CODE <?php if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/pdf") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/tiff") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/eps ")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 10000000)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) { echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />"; } else { echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />"; echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />"; echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />"; echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]; if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"])) { echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. "; } else { move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]); echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]; } } } else { echo "Invalid file"; } ?>

CODE if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/pdf") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/tiff") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") \|\| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/eps ")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 10000000)) The error message that you are getting is the else to this if. So this is the statement that is failing & forcing you into the else code block, reporting the error.

In your error, output the value of $_FILES["file"]["type"] to get a better idea of what's going on with the code. php echo "File type ".$_FILES['file']['type']." is not supported";

i was looking at it, and some things did seem logical to me, i code a bit different then some.

anyway, this works.

php


<?php

//$_FILES["file"]["type"]
$types = array('image/pjpeg','image/tiff','application/pdf','application/msword','application/eps');


//be aware that if this is above server http root, someone can delete them.
//is beter to store below it and use another page to get them, that has cleaning for the dir name and file name.
$upload_dir = 'upload/';

if(!is_writable($upload_dir)) exit($upload_dir.' Dir is not writable.');

if($_FILES["file"]["size"] > 0)
if ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 10000000){
  if(!in_array($_FILES["file"]["type"],$types)){
    echo '"'.$_FILES["file"]["type"].'" File type not allowd.';
  
  } else
  if (is_file($upload_dir . $_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    
    echo '"'.$_FILES["file"]["name"].'" already exists. rename and try again.';
    
  } else {  
    
    
    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0){
      echo 'Error: ' . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . '<br />';
    } else {
    
      echo 'Upload: ' . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . '<br />';
      echo 'Type: ' . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . '<br />';
      echo 'Size: ' . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . ' Kb<br />';
      echo 'Stored in: ' . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
      
  
      if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],$upload_dir . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
        echo '<br>Stored in: ' . $upload_dir . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      else
        echo '<br>Error moving file to: ' . $upload_dir;
        
    }
  }
} else {
  echo 'File to big.';
}
?>

<form method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="file" type="file"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

hmm, seems i am having issues posting code with html line breaks.
